²⁴ But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met ^[a]Moses, and ^(A)sought to put him to death. ²⁵ So Zipporah took ^(B)a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and ^[b]threw it at Moses’ feet; and she said, “You are indeed a groom of blood to me!” ²⁶ So He left him alone. At that time she said, “You are a groom of blood”—^[c]because of the circumcision.

² And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took in Moses’ wife ^(A)Zipporah, after he had sent her away, ³ and her ^(B)two sons, ^[a]one of whom was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have been ^(C)a stranger in a foreign land.” ⁴ And ^[b]the other was named ^[c](D)Eliezer, for he said, “^(E)The God of my father was my help, and saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”

⁵ Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses ^[d]in the wilderness where he was camped, at ^(F)the mountain of God.
