verse 24 why does God want to kill Moses?? What is going on in verse 24-26????
21 And the Lord said to Moses, "œWhen you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, "˜Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, "œLet my son go that he may serve me." If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.´"
24 At a lodging place on the way the Lord met him and sought to put him to death. 25 Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' [3] feet with it and said, "œSurely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" 26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, "œA bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.
