Exodus 4:22-31
New American Standard Bible
22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: “(A)Israel is My son, My firstborn. 23 So I said to you, ‘(B)Let My son go so that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, (C)I am going to kill your son, your firstborn.”’”
24 But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met [a]Moses, and (D)sought to put him to death. 25 So Zipporah took (E)a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and [b]threw it at Moses’ feet; and she said, “You are indeed a groom of blood to me!” 26 So He left him alone. At that time she said, “You are a groom of blood”—[c]because of the circumcision.
27 (F)Now the Lord said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the (G)mountain of God and kissed him. 28 (H)Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which He had sent him, and (I)all the signs that He had commanded him to do. 29 Then Moses and Aaron went and (J)assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel; 30 and (K)Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. He then performed the (L)signs in the sight of the people. 31 So (M)the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord [d](N)was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, (O)they bowed low and worshiped.
