Bible Time
2007-04-16: Zipporah at the Inn: Bridegroom of Blood
This prophetic event fulfilled with the shooting at Virginia Tech on Monday, April 16, 2007.
Most of the prophetic stories on this Exodus plagues series are set to fulfill before the lunch hour on the east coast of the United States. This day was no different, with the final shooting about 2 hours ahead of theoretical, though the campus remained closed for another day.
There were a considerable number of sub themes following related stories in the section that applies to this date. This date had one of the longest set of scriptures for any date in the entire prophetic Exodus Plagues series.
The exact timing and a complete list of associated scriptures are at the bottom of this article.
Part I: Compelled by Force
The opening Bible text for this prophetic date is a narrative where Moses is told the Egyptians will not let the people go except by force.1 This narrative is adding to the general understanding that the United States is prophetic end-times Egypt.
The headline fulfillment at Virginia Tech, instead of say somewhere else on the planet, is working to establish the United States as the location where the rest of the end-times Exodus Plagues will happen.
The text of the Book of Exodus is now starting to address the issue of plagues, and their purpose, and though this date's main prophetic stories do not derive directly from a plague narrative, the text is describing how plagues will happen in Egypt. This shooting event behaves as a plague, especially to those involved.
God himself is compelling these events by force and will continue to do so until all the prophetic end-times plagues have completely fulfilled.
Part II: The Inn at Virginia Tech
The underlying Bible story is the encounter with the the Lord at the Inn.2 In this encounter Zipporah, who apparently had not circumcised her sons, was forced to do so.
The first feature of the fulfillment to notice is the venue. Most of the live TV feeds from this event were broadcast out of a conference center known as the Inn at Virginia Tech. This was not even a student union building, common to many campuses, but a large public gathering place. That special place name on the Virginia Tech campus is a prophetic match to the venue from the Exodus story.
The Inn at Virginia Tech is prophetically named to match the Inn where Zipporah met Moses as he was returning to Egypt.
Part III: Body Counts
There were 2 victims at the dorm room and 30 more victims in the Norris Hall classroom building. Counting Cho there were 33 dead that day.
Note that 30 victims in a group in the classroom building form a special group. They are like a class of some sort.
These 30 have a strange match to the 30 days in a month. 30 is the number of silver coins used to betray, or reveal, Jesus. It is one of the most difficult to spot prophetic ratios, but it is one of the most useful.
Using the others as a multiplication, the 3 * 30 = 90 days, or 3 months.
This date is 3 months of 30 days since the previous prophetic date and it is 3 months of 30 days until the next prophetic date.
The death toll, especially as the bodies were grouped, is reflecting the prophetic timing.
Part IV: Shooter's nationality
The shooter, Cho, was living in the United States as a permanent resident alien. He had moved to the United States at age 8 from South Korea with his family.
Other prophetic stories have established Ban Ki-moon, also from South Korea, as the prophetic Moses. The linkage of Cho to Korea links him to the current most famous Korean, and the prophetic Moses currently running the United Nations.
Cho was in effect a son of Moses. This is in part why Korea called a national day of fasting after the shooting. The fear was this event would look badly to Korea in general.
The shooter was a son of Moses, and the linkage is established through their nationality, both Korean.
Part V: Shooter's Death
The original Exodus story for this date is about the circumcision of Moses' son. Cutting off the head or the top, leading part or even figuratively first born which is what will come later in the plagues.
The reports indicated that Cho shot his own face off when he killed himself at the end of the shooting. This is a match, it is a type of circumcision.
Hard to imagine the mess that the authorities found when they entered the building that morning. They originally had trouble identifying the shooter because his face was unrecognizable. It certainly wasn't a pretty picture.
By shooting off his own face the shooter in effect circumcised himself, a match to the prophetic story.
Part VI: Ishmael Ax
Cho also had written "Ishmael Ax" on his arm and used the same term when signing the package he sent to NBC on the morning of the event.
Email reports suggested that the never-published 2 hours of video contained Islamic Terrorist rantings. Though the failure, at least so far, to publish this information suggest Islamic terrorism is not the root of the story.
The mysterious term was a suddenly popular search engine term as the public tried to figure out what Cho meant by its use. Of course the prophetic story involves an ax, a type of knife, and it helps explain what was going on.
Axes are used to cut off and that is what he was prophetically accomplishing that day.
Ishmael's Ax was used to cut off, or circumcise. It was another variation on the Bible stories that applied that day.
Part VII: Shooter's Weapon: A flint
The Exodus account makes clear that Zipporah used a flint knife.3 The word flint is an old and early word for gun. Guns were originally called flintlocks describing their firing mechanism.
Flint is also used in the Bible for starting fires, which is how flintlock guns work. The spark from the flint ignites the power and shoots the bullet.
Use of a firearm is relatively common in school shootings, but shootings are not all that common on prophetic fulfillment dates. Political events, bombings, even planes into skyscrapers are on the charts and suggest a wide variety of fulfillment weaponry. This headline event alone involves a flint. No other future dates on this series use such a weapon.
Use of a gun, a modern form of a flintlock, is suggested by Zipporah's use of a flint.
Part VIII: Shooter's Voice
Cho's family, especially his family in Korea, that knew him when he was a young boy, said that he almost never talked. Many of his fellow students on campus also remarked how he was a particularly quiet individual.
The same complaint has been leveled against Ban Ki-moon at the United Nations. In Mr. Ban's case the complaint is about his lack of charisma in his public speeches. This may be some sort of prophetic national characteristic.
In the prophetic text for this date Moses complained that he was of poor speech,4 and this made Yahvah angry with Moses.5 God created the voice, and apportions to each however he may choose. So, to say that someone is not equipped for something that has been ordained is to say God has made a mistake. Not so, he never makes mistakes.
When Cho finally did speak on his own video his voice wasn't that bad. God did give him an ability to speak. You can watch some of his video on You Tube
Moses' complaint about being slow of speech fulfilled in his prophetic son, the Virginia Tech shooter, a man thought to be slow of speech, but who in the end was not.
Part IX: Assemble the Elders
Moses was told to assemble the elders.6 By this the 12 tribal leaders are suggested. These tribal names and their patriarchal leaders were also mentioned by name at the very start of the Book of Exodus.
On Tuesday afternoon Virginia Tech held a convocation at Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, Virginia. This convocation marks the assembly of the elders caused by Moses. (Or if you will, Moses' son.)
The guest of honor on stage that day was none other than George Bush, the President of the United States who had flown into town for this assembly. George, appears to be Pharoah, or king of Egypt, and his appearance at Virginia tech's assembly plays in interesting ways to the underlying text for the day, the text talking about the king of Egypt who would not, ultimately, listen.
There was a procession of other speakers rounding out the 12.
There is a video of the convocation on the internet. You can watch it at the hokiesports.com website.
If you watch the video pay careful attention to the 4 representatives of world faiths that were part of the 12 and asked to speak to the audiance that day. Knowing what you know here, that the vent was ordained by God on a schedule and as a prelude to much worse things to come, review what each said. In particular only the Lutheran and the Jew could begin to explain what happened. None really understood.
Virginia Tech called an assembly of the elders where 12 elders assembled and spoke to a gathered crowd in the room and to a wider audience watching on live TV.
Part X: Candlelight Vigil
There was a candlelight vigil held on tuesdaythe main central lawns of the campus. The sight was amazing to see all the uplifted candles.
Curious about this event is the worshipful nature of at least some of the Virginia Tech community.
The worship is also mentioned in the underlying stories from the Book of Exodus.7
There is an underlying community of faith, unknown to most leaders, unknown to the common public discourse, who will respond in worship.
Part XI: The Weather
There was a storm going on across the weekend ending on April 15, that dumped record amounts of rain across the North Eastern parts of the United States. These storms also included heavy winds which especially on Monday afternoon were responsible for knocking out TV transmissions from reporters who had flown into Blacksburg, Virginia to report on the event.
Across the Carolinas on Sunday, the day before the shooting, there had been tornado warnings. Even the early videos recorded during the shooting showed off snow fluries that were happening in the area.
Of course the weather was unimportant, right?
Snow is used as the adjective to describe one of the wonders that Moses will do for pharaoh.8 Even though the trees were starting to bud, the weather needed to be stormy and snowy in order to match the prophetic stories. This was seen in Virginia on the day of the shooting, it was also seen in more distant location up and down the eastern seaboard, especially north of New York City.
New York City itself was having heavy rains, with roads blocked north of the city up into Westchester County. Standing water and record floods were being seen all across the New York City region.
Snow was used to describe the prophetic story in the Book of Exodus, and snow was seen on the Virginia Tech campus, yet another prophetic match.
Part XII: Student's Age
The generation that was not yet in their 20th year at the time when Moses returned to Egypt was the generation who would live to see the crossing of the Jordan river 40 years later. Nearly all the others would have to much Egypt in their make up and would die in the wilderness for their lack of faith.
This time around the timing details are a little different and there is a community of faith that is slightly broader than the numbers in Moses' day, so it may not be simply 2 of the elders who survive this time in history. BUT...
The Virginia Tech massacre impacted the students of the campus in the same way as the same age group was most impacted by Moses' actions when he brought the Isralites out of Egypt. This age group matches the key age group in Moses' day.
There is a prophetic match between the students of Virginia Tech and the same age group in Moses' day.
Part XIII: Ban Ki-Moon Visits the Vatican
On April 18, 2007, UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon visited Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. While there he invited the Pope to visit the United Nations in New York City.
That trip, April 15 - 20, 2008, would fulfill another plague related headline, a visit to Pharaoh. It would happen 1 year, to the day, from when Ban Ki-Moon visited the Vatican.
This particular meeting between Ban Ki-Moon and Benedict XVI fulfills the component of the story of where Aaron meets Moses.
In this case prophetic Moses, Ban Ki-Moon, visited at Aaron's house, but this was a convienence as Ban Ki-Moon was making deliberate attempts to visit key places around the globe and considered his visit to the Vatican as one of those stops.
Conclusions
This headline cluster has more matches than most other headlines known to the Bible Time system, aside from perhaps 911. The amount of text that applied to this date is larger than nearly all other Exodus related plagues. The stories and future related headlines will simply start clocking off, some with only a few sentences of Bible text each.
Events like this cause many different types of responses in the people who watch. At one level is the tradgedy and the mechanics of it. As the details become available a certain part of the audiance goes into fact finding mode, as if knowing more about the event makes the event any better.
Another group realizes that God let this happen, and that he is purposeful. A very few number of people of faith are ever given the microphone and allowed to talk through this angle. For if God is purposeful, then this sort of event demonstrates that He is not pleased with something in the community. The correct response here is repentence, and that is not seen on secular media channels, at least not in this generation. For people in this group the response must be private.
A third group tends to respond with defiance. One of the speeches near the end of the Convocation ended with a crowd pleasing chorus of "We are Hokies". Another assembly, this one on one of the main campus lawns, ended with the school fight songs. This response appeals to many, but ultimately it fights against those things that God has clearly ordained for the community. This is the attitude of Pharaoh, always in defiance of the things God has ordained. I doubt this attitude will cease until all the plagues have ended.

2 Exodus 4:1-31
6And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 7And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
10And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made mans mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 14And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. 17And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
18And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 19And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 21And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 23And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 25Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
27And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 30And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.(KJV)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
6And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 7And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these 2 signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
10And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 14And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. 17And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
18And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 19And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 21And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 23And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 25Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
27And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 30And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.(KJV/NC)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
10And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11And Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? Or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, Jehovah? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak. 13And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 14And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And 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. 16And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God. 17And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs. 18And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 19And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead that sought thy life. 20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 21And Jehovah said unto Moses, When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go. 22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born: 23and I have said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou hast refused to let him go: behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born. 24And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that Jehovah met him, and sought to kill him. 25Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me. 26So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood art thou, because of the circumcision.
27And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged him. 29And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 30and Aaron spake all the words which Jehovah had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people believed: and when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.(ASV)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
10¶ And Moses said to the LORD. I beseech thee, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou has spoken to thy servant; for I am a stutterer and slow of speech. 11The LORD said to him, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or the deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I the LORD? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak. 13And Moses said to him, O my LORD, send I beseech thee, by the hand of whomsoever thou wilt send. 14And the anger of the LORD kindled against Moses, and he said to him, Behold, Aaron, your brother, the Levite. I know that he is a good speaker, and also, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15And you shall speak to him and put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do. 16And he shall be your spokesman to the people; and he shall be an interpreter for you, and you shall be to him instead of God. 17And you shall take this staff in your hand, with which you shall do signs.
18¶ And Moses returned, and went to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt and see whether they are still alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 19And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead. 20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and started on his way back to Egypt; and he took the staff of God in his hand. 21And the LORD said to Moses. When you return to Egypt, see that you perform all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have performed by your hand, but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my first-born son; 23And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your first-born son.
24¶ And it came to pass when Moses was on his way to the inn that the LORD met him and sought to kill him. 25Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off the foreskin of her son, and she fell down at the feet of the LORD and said, I have a bloody husband. 26So the LORD let him go. Then she said, You are a bloody husband, because of the circumcision. 27And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went and met him in the mountain of God, Horeb, and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD, who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him to perform. 29Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel; 30And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had said to Moses, and performed the signs in the presence of the people. 31And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had remembered the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they knelt down and worshipped before the LORD. (LAM)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
10But Moses said to the LORD, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either heretofore or since thou hast spoken to thy servant; but I am slow of speech and of tongue." 11Then the LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak." 13But he said, "Oh, my Lord, send, I pray, some other person." 14Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses and he said, "Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well; and behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart. 15And you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do. 16He shall speak for you to the people; and he shall be a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God. 17And you shall take in your hand this rod, with which you shall do the signs."
18Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Let me go back, I pray, to my kinsmen in Egypt and see whether they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace." 19And the LORD said to Moses in Mid'ian, "Go back to Egypt; for all the men who were seeking your life are dead." 20So Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on an ass, and went back to the land of Egypt; and in his hand Moses took the rod of God.
21And the LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 22And you shall say to Pharaoh, `Thus says the LORD, Israel is my first-born son, 23and I say to you, "Let my son go that he may serve me"; if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your first-born son.'"
24At a lodging place on the way the LORD met him and sought to kill him. 25Then Zippo'rah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched Moses' feet with it, and said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" 26So he let him alone. Then it was that she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.
27The LORD said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." So he went, and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD with which he had sent him, and all the signs which he had charged him to do. 29Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the people of Israel. 30And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.(RSV)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
2Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied.
3The LORD said, "Throw it on the ground." Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4Then the LORD said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5"This," said the LORD, "is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers -- the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob -- has appeared to you."
6Then the LORD said, "Put your hand inside your cloak." So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was leprous, like snow.
7"Now put it back into your cloak," he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.
8Then the LORD said, "If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first miraculous sign, they may believe the second. 9But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground."
10Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue."
11The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? 12Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
13But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."
14Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you. 15You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him. 17But take this staff in your hand so you can perform miraculous signs with it."
q18Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Let me go back to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive." Jethro said, "Go, and I wish you well."
19Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who wanted to kill you are dead." 20So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
21The LORD said to Moses, "When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22Then say to Pharaoh, `This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23and I told you, "Let my son go, so he may worship me." But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.'"
24At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him. 25But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it. "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me," she said. 26So the LORD let him alone. (At that time she said "bridegroom of blood," referring to circumcision.)
27The LORD said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to meet Moses." So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28Then Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and also about all the miraculous signs he had commanded him to perform.
29Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, 30and Aaron told them everything the LORD had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, 31and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.(NIV)
2 Exodus 4:1-31
2Yahweh said to him, 'What is that in your hand?'
He said, 'A rod.'
3He said, 'Throw it on the ground.'
He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4Yahweh said to Moses, 'Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail.'
He put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5'That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.' 6Yahweh said furthermore to him, 'Now put your hand inside your cloak.'
He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
7He said, 'Put your hand inside your cloak again.'
He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
8'It will happen, if they will neither believe you nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.'
10Moses said to Yahweh, 'Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.'

13He said, 'Oh, Lord, please send someone else.'
14The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Moses, and he said, 'What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he comes forth to meet you.

10And Moses said to Yahvah, I beg you, oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, not previously nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am a stutterer and slow of speech. 11Yahvah said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Who makes the mute, or the deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I, Yahvah? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you will speak. 13And Moses said to him, Oh my Lord, I beg you, send by the hand of whomever you will send. 14And the anger of Yahvah kindled against Moses, and he said to him, Look, Aaron, your brother, the Levite. I know that he is a good speaker, and also, look, he will come out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15And you will speak to him and put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you what you will do. 16And he will be your spokesman to the people; and he will be an interpreter for you, and you will be to him instead of God. 17And you will take this staff in your hand, with which you will do signs.
