Exodus 4:23 in Context — Exodus 4
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.
23 Já te disse que deixes ir a meu filho, para que me sirva, mas não quiseste deixá-lo ir: eis que eu vou a matar a teu filho, o teu primogênito.
24 E aconteceu no caminho, que em uma parada o SENHOR lhe saiu ao encontro, e quis matá-lo.
25 Então Zípora agarrou uma pedra afiada, e cortou o prepúcio de seu filho, e lançou-o a seus pés, dizendo: Em verdade tu me és um esposo de sangue.
