Exodus 4:21-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

21. And the Lord said to him, as he was returning to Egypt: "See that you accomplish, in the sight of Pharaoh, all the wonders that I have placed in your hand. I will harden his heart, and he will not release the people.

22. And you shall say to him: 'Thus says the Lord: Israel is my firstborn son.

23. I have said to you: Release my son, so that he may serve me. And you were not willing to release him. Behold, I will put to death your firstborn son.' "

24. And while he was on the journey, at an inn, the Lord met him, and he was willing to kill him.

25. For this reason, Zipporah took a very sharp stone, and she circumcised the foreskin of her son, and she touched his feet, and she said, "You are a bloody spouse to me."
