Exodus 4:21-23

Contemporary English Version

²¹ On the way the Lord said to Moses:

When you get to Egypt, go to the king and work the miracles I have shown you. But I will make him so stubborn that he will refuse to let my people go. ²² Then tell him that I have said, “Israel is my first-born son, ^23 (A) and I commanded you to release him, so he could worship me. But you refused, and now I will kill your first-born son.”
