Exodus 4:24–31

²⁴At a camping place on the way to Egypt, the Lord met Moses and tried to kill him. ^25–26Then Zipporah, his wife, took a sharp stone, cut off the foreskin of her son, and touched Moses’ feet^g with it. Because of the rite of circumcision she said to Moses, “You are a husband of blood to me.” And so the Lord spared Moses’ life.

²⁷Meanwhile the Lord had said to Aaron, “Go into the desert to meet Moses.” So he went to meet him at the holy mountain; and when he met him, he kissed him. ²⁸Then Moses told Aaron everything that the Lord had said when he told him to return to Egypt; he also told him about the miracles which the Lord had ordered him to perform. ²⁹So Moses and Aaron went to Egypt and gathered all the Israelite leaders together. ³⁰Aaron told them everything that the Lord had said to Moses, and then Moses performed all the miracles in front of the people. ³¹They believed, and when they heard that the Lord had come to them and had seen how they were being treated cruelly, they bowed down and worshipped.
