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.
24. And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.
