1 | God kill Moses? | Exodus | ZillaMaximus | 218326 | ||
Again, a shocker to me. Exodus 4:24-26 (NLV) Why does God come to kill Moses? I have companion questions to this, like, the blood smeared on a bridegroom and circumcision and what is going on there and what should I get out of it and if Moses hadn't already told Aaron what was the plan, why would God speak to Moses and then try to kill him before there was any hope of completing His plan? Again, couple sentences but much I don't get. Why/How did Zipporah know God was coming? How did she know circumcision of Moses' son would stop Moses being killed? Thanks, Zilla |

2 | God kill Moses? | Exodus | Yedida | 218327 | ||
Dear Zilla, I could give you quotes from numerous commentaries, but I figure you can google those yourself, so--- One view is this passage (that I tend to lean toward) is that it was not Moses that God was looking to kill but the uncircumcised son of Moses, because being uncircumcised the boy was not a part of the Israelite people. I am unaware of blood being smeared on a bridegroom, can you give the reference where you found this? The covenant sign of circumcision is instituted in Gen. 17:1-14 (verse 14 will asnwer your question about Moses' son). Your last question about Zipporah, I'm sorry but I cannot answer. Perhaps someone else can... Yedida |
