Exodus 4:23 in Context — Exodus 4
21 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: En partant pour retourner en Égypte, vois tous les prodiges que je mets en ta main: tu les feras devant Pharaon. Et moi, j’endurcirai son cœur, et il ne laissera point aller le peuple.
22 Tu diras à Pharaon: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Israël est mon fils, mon premier-né.
23 Je te dis: Laisse aller mon fils, pour qu’il me serve; si tu refuses de le laisser aller, voici, je ferai périr ton fils, ton premier-né.
24 Pendant le voyage, en un lieu où Moïse passa la nuit, l’Éternel l’attaqua et voulut le faire mourir.
25 Séphora prit une pierre aiguë, coupa le prépuce de son fils, et le jeta aux pieds de Moïse, en disant: Tu es pour moi un époux de sang!
