22 Then tell Pharaoh that (great house) this is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘Israel (he wrestles with God) is My firstborn son, 23 and I told you to let My son go so that he may worship Me. But since you have refused to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son!’” 24 Now at a lodging place along the way, the LORD {YHWH} met Moses and was about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah (bird) took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin, and touched it to Moses’ feet [his feet]. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the LORD let him alone. (When she said, “bridegroom of blood,” she was referring to the circumcision.) 27 Meanwhile, the LORD {YHWH} had said to Aaron (light bringer), “Go and meet Moses (drawn out) in the wilderness.” So he went and met Moses at the mountain of God {Elohim} and kissed him. 28 And Moses (drawn out) told Aaron (light bringer) everything the LORD {YHWH} had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform. 29 Then Moses (drawn out) and Aaron (light bringer) went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites (God prevails), 30 and Aaron (light bringer) relayed everything the LORD {YHWH} had said to Moses (drawn out). And Moses performed the signs before the people, 31 and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD {YHWH} had attended to the Israelites (God prevails) and had seen their affliction, they bowed down and worshiped. Exodus 4:22-31, Berean Annotated Bible.
