Exodus 4:22

Compare all

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.
