² After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro took her back,^(A)

²¹ Moses agreed to stay with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah in marriage.^(A)

²⁵ But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin, touched his feet with it, and said, “Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!”^{(A) 26} So he let him alone. It was then that she said “a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
