22. And you must say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Israel is my son, my firstborn.”

23. And I said to you, “Release my son and let him serve me,” but you refused to release him. Look, I am about to kill your son, your firstborn.’ ”

24. And on the way, at the place of overnight lodging, Yahweh encountered him and sought to kill him.
