22 And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:
23 And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.
24 Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.
26 So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.
