Thematic Bible: His controversy with his wife on account of circumcision


Thematic Bible



And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass, and went again to Egypt, and took the rod of God in his hand. And the LORD said unto Moses, "When thou art come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the people go. And tell Pharaoh, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Israel is mine eldest son, read more.
and therefore sayeth unto thee: let my son go, that he may serve me. If thou wilt not let him go: behold, I will slay thine eldest son.'" And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him. Then Zipporah took a stone and circumcised her son, and fell at his feet, and said, "A bloody husband art thou unto me." And he let him go. She said 'a bloody husband' because of the circumcision.
