Bible Question: Why didn't God take care of the circumcision issue before he sent Moses to Egypt? |
Bible Answer: Vblocal, Welcome to the forum!! Are you talking about the circumcision of Moses' sons? Scripture doesn't say why the boys were not circumcised first. But God works in patterns, and He was about to redeem Israel from slavery in Egypt, and His redemption is "free." He redeems first and then shows one how to live the life of a redeemed person. Cheri |
