God Almost Killed Moses?
This one goes in the “Verses I Want to Ask God About” category.
“At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.” Exodus 4:24
This verse comes right in the middle of Moses return to Egypt from Midian. Pretty random…don’t you think? Some people speculate it was because of Zipporah’s (Moses’ wife) refusal to circumcise their son thus keeping Moses from a rite so closely connected with the Abrahamic covenant. Others (Matthew Henry) believe it was because of Moses himself neglecting to circumcise him as a result of being unequally yoked who was too indulgent of the boy.
Either way, it seems to me to be a pretty random verse.
