THE HOLY SCRIPTURE AND ME


         

  "GOD WANTED TO KILL MOSES",




see Exodus 4, 24-26 :



"...During the journey, while they were encamped for the night,

the Lord met Moses,

meaning to kill him, 

but Moses' wife Zipporah picked up a sharp flint,

cut of her son's foreskin, 

and touched her husband  with it, saying : 

You are my blood-bridegroom. 

So the Lord let Moses alone..."




A very curious story.

Moses was not circumcised, 

he was educated at the court of the Pharaoh. 

God wants to punish this offence. 

But, Sippora, Moses'wife, 

can mislead the omniscient God : 

she smears blood of the circumcision of her son on her husband's genitals. 

So the Lord let the "circumcised" Moses alone.
