New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 4
²⁴ Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the Lord met him and sought to put him to death.
²⁵ Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and threw it at Moses’ feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me."
²⁶ So He let him alone. At that time she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood"-because of the circumcision.
²⁷ Now the Lord said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness." So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.
²⁸ Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord with which He had sent him, and all the signs that He had commanded him to do.
²⁹ Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the sons of Israel;
³⁰ and Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. He then performed the signs in the sight of the people.
³¹ So the people believed; and when they heard that the Lord was concerned about the sons of Israel and that He had seen their affliction, then they bowed low and worshiped.
Exodus 5
¹ And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ’Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.’"
² But Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go."
³ Then they said, "The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."
