Exodus 4:24 in Context — Exodus 4

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!

26 Et l’Éternel le laissa. C’est alors qu’elle dit: Époux de sang! À cause de la circoncision.
