The Return to Egypt
Exodus 4:18-23
18
Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him; I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace.
19
And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt; for they are all dead that sought thy life.
20
Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass; and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand.
21
And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
22
And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
23
I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
