LORD was angry with Moses and said: I know Aaron thy brother the Levite
that he can speak. And moreover behold, he cometh out against {to meet}
thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. And thou
shalt speak unto him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with
thy mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And
he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: he shall be thy mouth, and
thou shalt be his God: and take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou
shalt do miracles. And Moses went and returned to Iethro his
father-in-law again and said unto him: let me go (I pray thee) and turn
again unto my brethren which are in Egypt, that I may see whether they
be yet alive. And Iethro said to Moses: go in peace. And the LORD said
unto Moses in Madian: return again into Egypt for they are dead which
went about to kill thee. And Moses took his wife and his sons and put
them on an ass, and went again to Egypt, and took the rod of God in his
hand. And the LORD said unto Moses: when thou art come into Egypt
again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharao which I have put
in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the
people go. And tell Pharao, thus sayeth the LORD: Israel is mine eldest
son, and therefore sayeth unto thee: let my son go, that he may serve
me. If thou wilt not let him go: behold, I will slay thine eldest son.
And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would
have killed him. Then Zepora took a stone and circumcised her son, and
fell at his feet, and said: a bloody husband art thou unto me. And he
let him go. She said a bloody husband, because of the circumcision.
Then said the LORD unto Aaron: go meet Moses in the wilderness. And he
went and met him in the mount of God and kissed him. And Moses told
Aaron all the words of the LORD which he had sent by him, and all the
tokens which he had charged him withal. So went Moses and Aaron and
gathered all the elders of the children of Israel. And Aaron told all
the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the miracles in
the sight of the people, and the people believed. And when they heard
that the LORD had visited the children of Israel and had looked upon
their tribulation, they bowed them selves, and worshipped.
