On the journey, God seeks to kill Moses, likely due to his son’s uncircumcision. Zipporah, Moses’ wife, circumcises their son and touches Moses’ feet with the foreskin. God relents. A mysterious and intense moment that underscores obedience to covenant law.
It reads in Exodus 4: 24–26 Easy:
On the way to Egypt, there was a place where people could rest on their journey. The Lord met Moses there and he wanted to kill Moses. But Zipporah took a sharp stone, and she cut off her son’s foreskin with the stone. She touched Moses’ feet with the foreskin. She said, ‘You are a husband of blood to me.’ So God did not do anything bad to Moses. Then Zipporah said to Moses, ‘You are a husband of blood, because of this circumcision.’
Father God, sometimes Your ways are hard to understand, but I know Your commands are holy and good. Help me take Your covenant seriously and obey even when it’s uncomfortable. Thank You and praise You for those who stand beside me, who act in wisdom when I hesitate. Teach me to honor You with my whole life and walk in faithfulness every day. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
