18 ¶ Therefore Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him, I pray thee, let me go, and return to my [a]brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. Then Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 (For the Lord had said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt: for they are all dead which [b]went about to kill thee.)

20 Then Moses took his wife and his sons, and [c]put them on an ass, and returned toward the land of Egypt, and Moses took the [d]rod of God in his hand.

21 And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou art entered and come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will [e]harden his heart, and he shall not let the people go.

22 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my [f]firstborn.

23 Wherefore I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.

24 ¶ And as he was by the way in the Inn, the Lord met him, and [g]would have killed him.

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp knife, and [h]cut away the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Thou art indeed a bloody husband unto me.

26 So [i]he departed from him. Then she said, O bloody husband (because of the circumcision).

27 ¶ Then the Lord said unto Aaron, Go meet Moses in the wilderness. And he went and met him in the [j]Mount of God, and kissed him.

28 Then Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.
