Exodus 4:23-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

23. I said to you, "Let my son go so he could worship me." But you refused to let him go. As a result, now I’m going to kill your oldest son.’"

24. During their journey, as they camped overnight, the Lord met Moses and tried to kill him.

25. But Zipporah took a sharp-edged flint stone and cut off her son’s foreskin. Then she touched Moses’ genitals with it, and she said, "You are my bridegroom because of bloodshed."

26. So the Lord let him alone. At that time, she announced, "A bridegroom because of bloodshed by circumcision."

27. The Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to meet Moses." So he went, and Aaron met him at God’s mountain and greeted him with a kiss.
