Shemot 4:21-31 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

21. And Hashem said unto Moshe, When thou goest to return into Mitzrayim, see that thou do all those mofetim before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine yad: but I will harden his lev, that he shall not let HaAm go.

22. And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Hashem, Yisroel is beni (My son), even My bechor (first-born):

23. And I say unto thee, Let beni (My son) go, that he may serve Me: and if thou refuse to let him go, hinei, I will slay thy ben, even thy bechor.

24. And it came to pass on the derech at the malon, that Hashem met him, and sought to kill him.

25. Then Tzipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the arlat ben (foreskin of son) of her, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a choson damim (a bridegroom of blood) art thou to me.

26. So He let him go; then she said, A choson damim thou art, because of the circumcision (i.e., [bris] milah).

27. And Hashem said to Aharon, Go into the midbar to meet Moshe. And he went, and met him in the Har HaElohim, and kissed him.

28. And Moshe told Aharon kol divrei Hashem who had sent him, and all haOtot He had commanded him.

29. And Moshe and Aharon went and assembled together kol Ziknei Bnei Yisroel;

30. And Aharon spoke all hadevarim which Hashem had spoken unto Moshe; and he did haOtot before the eyes of HaAm.

31. And HaAm believed; and when they heard that Hashem had visited the Bnei Yisroel, and that He had looked upon their oni, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
