Day 5 Ex iv Moses and the Burning Bush

This is an interesting part of this chapter. In the chapter our focus is mostly on the dialogue between Moses and God. Then While Moses is on his way back to Egypt he stops and is lodging when God comes to kill his son. His wife then takes a flint and cuts off the boys foreskin and tosses it at Moses' feet. ...that is hard core... It comes as a surprise to me that his son had not been circumcised yet.

I read some commentaries on this, for the passage can be read in many was. It seems that it was the man's job to be doing the snipping. This was Moses' fault that the boy had not been trimmed. So God came to kill (or make very sick) Moses for neglecting his job. This is when his wife steps in.

She cuts off the boys foreskin and throws it at Moses feet
A Bridegroom of Blood
so that it touches his feet (it's in the Hebrew) and calls him a 'bloody husband' or bridegroom.

I pray that God would always give me the strength and courage to do what is right to do. And that God would never have to use my wife in a capacity she was not intended for because of my disobedience.
