New American Standard Bible
24 But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met [a]Moses, and (A)sought to put him to death. 25 So Zipporah took (B)a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and [b]threw it at Moses’ feet; and she said, “You are indeed a groom of blood to me!” 26 So He left him alone. At that time she said, “You are a groom of blood”—[c]because of the circumcision.
