23. and I commanded you to release him, so he could worship me. But you refused, and now I will kill your firstborn son.”
24. One night while Moses was in camp, the Lord was about to kill him.
25. But Zipporah circumcised her son with a flint knife. She touched his legs with the skin she had cut off and said, “My dear son, this blood will protect you.”
26. So the Lord did not harm Moses. Then Zipporah said, “Yes, my dear, you are safe because of this circumcision.”
27. The Lord sent Aaron to meet Moses in the desert. So Aaron met Moses at Mount Sinai and greeted him with a kiss.
28. Moses told Aaron what God had sent him to say; he also told him about the miracles God had given him the power to perform.
29. Later they brought together the leaders of Israel,
30. and Aaron told them what the Lord had sent Moses to say. Then Moses worked the miracles for the people,
31. and everyone believed. They bowed down and worshipped the Lord because they knew that he had seen their suffering and was going to help them.
