Exodus 4:19-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹ Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go ^[a]back to Egypt, for ^(A)all the men who were seeking your life are dead.” ²⁰ So Moses took his wife and his ^(B)sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the ^(C)staff of God in his hand.

²¹ And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go ^[b]back to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all ^(D)the wonders which I have put in your ^[c]power; but ^(E)I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. ²² Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: “^(F)Israel is My son, My firstborn. ²³ So I said to you, ‘^(G)Let My son go so that he may serve Me’; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, ^(H)I am going to kill your son, your firstborn.”’”
