18 Assim se foi Moisés, e voltando a seu sogro Jetro, disse-lhe: Irei agora, e voltarei a meus irmãos que estão em Egito, para ver se ainda vivem. E Jetro disse a Moisés: Vai em paz.

19 Disse também o SENHOR a Moisés em Midiã: Vai, e volta-te ao Egito, porque mataram todos os que procuravam tua morte.

20 Então Moisés tomou sua mulher e seus filhos, e os pôs sobre um asno, e voltou-se à terra do Egito: tomou também Moisés a vara de Deus em sua mão.

21 E disse o SENHOR a Moisés: Quando houverdes voltado ao Egito, olha que faças diante de Faraó todas as maravilhas que pus em tua mão: eu, porém, endurecerei seu coração, de modo que não deixará ir ao povo.

22 E dirás a Faraó: O SENHOR disse assim: Israel é meu filho, meu primogênito.
