Moses Goes to Egypt

18 So Moses went and returned to aJethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, b“Go in peace.”  
19 Now the Lord said to Moses in aMidian, “Go, return to bEgypt; for all the men who csought your life are dead.”  
20 Then Moses atook his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took bthe rod of God in his hand.  
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those awonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But bI will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.  
22 Then you shall asay to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord: b“Israel is My son, cMy firstborn.  
23 So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, indeed aI will kill your son, your firstborn.” ’ ”  
24 And it came to pass on the way, at the aencampment, that the Lord bmet him and sought to ckill him.  
25 Then aZipporah took ba sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and1 cast it at Moses’ feet, and said, “Surely you are a husband of blood to me!”  
26 So He let him go. Then she said, “You are a1 husband of blood!”—because of the circumcision.
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness ato meet Moses.” So he went and met him bon the mountain of God, and kissed him.

The rod of God - His shepherd's crook so called, as it was God's instrument in so many glorious works.
