Exodus 4:22
Thus saith the Lord - This is the first time that preface is used by any man, which afterwards is used so frequently by all the prophets: Israel is my son, my first - born - Precious in my sight, honourable, and dear to me.
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!”
