Thank you for your reminding, my questions are not answered clearly. 1) Exodus 4:25 Zipporah circumcised their SON, not sons - elder or younger? 2) Was Moses circumcised? When and where? Why God leave him alone if not? |

4 | Moses Circumcised? | Exodus | benjamite | 32130 | ||
1. We don't know which son, for sure. We might assume, from the context of "Israel is My son, My first-born", Ex 4:22, that it is the eldest son. 2. Was Moses circumcised? Yes. When? Presumably on the 8th day, Gen 17:11-12. Why is this probable? At this point, Moses was in the care of his mother, Ex 2:2. The Jews, according to Joshua 5:5, were circumcised before they came out of Egypt. When did Moses come out of Egypt? It happened sometime before then. Moses' when and where, i.e., geographic location: 8th day, Goshen. In Exodus 4, one of the sons is circumcised, Ex 4:25. That leaves the other son. At the very latest, he was circumcised in Joshua 5:3-5, at Gibeath-haaraloth. |
