2 | QUESTION COMES FROM EX 24:25 | Exodus | Rowdy | 118309 | ||
You seem to be referring to Chap 4 as there is no such verse in Chap 24. Cited for reference Ex 4:25 Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me." It helps if you know Moses' background. He spent a third of life, 40 years in this desert country so people living here were probably used to a rough life but it's quite possible they had never encountered this custom of circumcision. So when Moses insisted on having their sons circumcised, this was probably quite a traumatic experience for her. It should be emphasized that she THREW the foreskin at Moses' feet. Women do those kind of things, especially when the man in their life does something painful to their child(ren). I know from personal experience. I hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
