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.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Exodus 4:21:

Exodus 4:21-23

The Bible uses a large variety of metaphors, imagery, similes, types, parables, allegories, and analogies as teaching tools. They are used either to hide or cloud a meaning, or sometimes to make them clear—so that there is understanding with God's people either way. Here, in Exodus 4:21, Israel is seen as a cohesive body—as a single human son. In other places, Israel is portrayed as a virginal woman, married to God—and, in other places, as a harlot, who is still legally married but in reality having departed from the marriage in terms of the performance of her duties.
