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.  
28 So Moses atold Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the bsigns which He had commanded him.

Exodus 4:24-26

But circumcision, they knew, was a required thing and perhaps they forgot it a little bit during the enslavement in Egypt. God reminded Moses very forcibly in Exodus 4:24-26 that he needed to circumcise his son and so Zipporah did that for him, much to her consternation. Then the Passover requirements that are given in Exodus 12 explicitly forbids any uncircumcised person to partake of it. So they must have undergone a forced, if you will, circumcision of all adult males at that time, right around Passover before they left Egypt. It was performed again as they entered the Promised Land under Joshua, in Joshua 5. So we have these instances in the Pentateuch of circumcision being done.
