23. And I told you to let my son go. Let him go so he may worship me. But you refused to let Israel go. So I will kill your firstborn son.’”
24. As Moses was on his way to Egypt, he stopped at a resting place for the night. The Lord met him there and tried to kill him.
25. But Zipporah took a flint knife and circumcised her son. She took the skin and touched Moses’ feet with it. Then she said to him, “You are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
26. Zipporah said this because she had to circumcise her son. So the Lord did not kill Moses.
27. Meanwhile the Lord said to Aaron, “Go out into the desert to meet Moses.” When Aaron went, he met Moses at Sinai, the mountain of God, and kissed him.
28. Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had said to him when he sent him to Egypt. And Moses told him about the miracles which the Lord had commanded him to do.
29. So Moses and Aaron gathered all the elders of the Israelites.
30. Aaron told them everything that the Lord had told Moses. Then Moses did the miracles for all the people to see.
31. So the Israelites believed. They heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their troubles. Then they bowed down and worshiped him.
