Exodus 4:23 in Context — Exodus 4
21 Y dijo Jehová á Moisés: Cuando hubiereis vuelto á Egipto, mira que hagas delante de Faraón todas las maravillas que he puesto en tu mano: yo empero endureceré su corazón, de modo que no dejará ir al pueblo.
22 Y dirás á Faraón: Jehová ha dicho así: Israel es mi hijo, mi primogénito.
23 Ya te he dicho que dejes ir á mi hijo, para que me sirva, mas no has querido dejarlo ir: he aquí yo voy á matar á tu hijo, tu primogénito.
24 Y aconteció en el camino, que en una posada le salió al encuentro Jehová, y quiso matarlo.
25 Entonces Séphora cogió un afilado pedernal, y cortó el prepucio de su hijo, y echólo á sus pies, diciendo: A la verdad tú me eres un esposo de sangre.
