place on the way that the LORD met him
and sought to put him to death. (25)
Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off
her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses'
feet, and she said, "You are indeed a
bridegroom of blood to me." (26) So He

are a bridegroom of blood"--because of

servant Moses?" (9) And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against them, and he
