00:00God almost killed Moses because his son was uncircumcised.
00:05According to Exodus chapter 4, Moses was on his way to Egypt to deliver the Israelites from slavery
00:11when the Lord confronted him and sought to put him to death.
00:15His son had not been circumcised, violating the covenant God had established with Abraham.
00:22Moses' wife, Zipporah, immediately took a flint knife, circumcised their son,
00:27and touched Moses' feet with the foreskin.
00:30Then the danger passed.
00:33This mysterious encounter reveals the seriousness of God's covenant.
00:38Moses was chosen to lead God's people, yet his own household had neglected a sacred command.
00:45The lesson is powerful.
00:48Being chosen by God does not mean we can ignore His commands.
