Exodus 4:21-31 ▼

21 And the LORD said to Moses. When you return to Egypt, see that you perform all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have performed by your hand, but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.

22 And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my first-born son;

23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your first-born son.

24 And it came to pass when Moses was on his way to the inn that the LORD met him and sought to kill him.

25 Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off the foreskin of her son, and she fell down at the feet of the LORD and said, I have a bloody husband.

26 So the LORD let him go. Then she said, You are a bloody husband, because of the circumcision.

27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went and met him in the mountain of God, Horeb, and kissed him.

28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD, who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him to perform.

29 Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel;

30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had said to Moses, and performed the signs in the presence of the people.

31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had remembered the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they knelt down and worshipped before the LORD.
