Exodus 4:23-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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."

26. And he released him, after she had said, "You are a bloody spouse," because of the circumcision.

27. Then the Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to meet Moses." And he went directly to meet him on the mountain of God, and he kissed him.

28. And Moses explained to Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs which he had commanded.

29. And they arrived at the same time, and they gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
