Bible Question (short): Why would God seek to kill Moses?

Question (full): This verse comes right after the passage where God speaks to Moses from the burning bush. God has gone to great lengths it seems to convince Moses that he is the one to return to Egypt to confrot Pharoah. I'm confused about this verse, which seems to say that as Moses is finally on his way to do what God had told h8m to do, that the Lord now seeks to kill Moses. If Moses is the one God has chosen, why would He be seeking to kill him? Am I reading this verse correctly?
