Exodus 4:21-31 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

21. And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `In thy going to turn back to Egypt, see--all the wonders which I have put in thy hand--that thou hast done them before Pharaoh, and I--I strengthen his heart, and he doth not send the people away;

22. and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son, My first-born [is] Israel,

23. and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve Me; and--thou dost refuse to send him away--lo, I am slaying thy son, thy first-born.'

24. And it cometh to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that Jehovah meeteth him, and seeketh to put him to death;

25. and Zipporah taketh a flint, and cutteth off the foreskin of her son, and causeth [it] to touch his feet, and saith, `Surely a bridegroom of blood [art] thou to me;'

26. and He desisteth from him: then she said, `A bridegroom of blood,' in reference to the circumcision.

27. And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `Go to meet Moses into the wilderness;' and he goeth, and meeteth him in the mount of God, and kisseth him,

28. and Moses declareth to Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which He hath sent him, and all the signs with which He hath charged him.

29. And Moses goeth--Aaron also--and they gather all the elders of the sons of Israel,

30. and Aaron speaketh all the words which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and doth the signs before the eyes of the people;

31. and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their affliction; and they bow and do obeisance.
