22. Then you will tell him, ‘This is what the lord says: Israel is my firstborn son.
23. I commanded you, “Let my son go, so he can worship me.” But since you have refused, I will now kill your firstborn son!’”
24. On the way to Egypt, at a place where Moses and his family had stopped for the night, the lord confronted him and was about to kill him.
25. But Moses’ wife, Zipporah, took a flint knife and circumcised her son. She touched his feet with the foreskin and said, “Now you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
26. (When she said “a bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.) After that, the lord left him alone.
27. Now the lord had said to Aaron, “Go out into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So Aaron went and met Moses at the mountain of God, and he embraced him.
