So Moses is going back to Egypt with his wife and sons. And God tells Moses to do the miracles before Pharaoh and to say to Pharaoh
'Thus says the Lord, Isreael is my firstborn son, and I say to you, "Let my son go that he may serve me." If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.'
My questions (concerning the next 3 verses)
1. the LORD met him - Moses, right?
2. and sought to put him to death - Moses? why?
3. Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it - what is the significance of Moses' feet? and How did Zipporah know to do this?
4. and said "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision - you being Moses?
and 5. In addition to the specific questions, what is the overall meaning of this passage?
thanks for all assistance,
Larry
