24 At a lodging place on the way ^fthe Lord met him and ^gsought to put him to death. 25 Then ^hZipporah took a ⁱflint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’¹ feet with it and said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!” 26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
