Why did the Lord try to kill Moses in Exodus 4:24-27

[Gr8grace]

Huh really I never knew thats written, cutting off foreskin and touching Moses feet with it. I can't but think how odd and wierd that seems.

I believe she threw/cast it at Moses feet. And it was basically a divorce. It was an idiom, of saying, "You are dead to me."

I agree with you Hermit. And I believe you are spot on in your explanation.

Anthropomorphism nor anthropopathism are in this passage. I was just saying that an anthropopathism would have been a closer definition than anthropomorphism if we were confused about this passage.

That may be a possibility but if it is anything I think a hebraism may be the better word but this really does not qualify as a hebraism as a figure of speech. But I had not considered the possibility of an anthropopathism.

Actually Hermit, Moses had a "stay" in these passages from the Sin unto death. But it was reinstated to Moses later on, and he did die the sin unto death(Physical)

He physically died an early death because of his disobedience.

Deut 32~~ 50“Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, 51because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. 52“For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel.”

Deut 34:7~~New American Standard Bible
Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated.

I am not sure we could connect Deut 32 to the incident in Exodus. Moses died as a result of his violation of typology in the striking of the rock and claiming the glory of the miracle of water for himself. But yes, like all men, Moses went the way of all men because of sin.

I agree we can't connect them. I was using it to show the Exodus passages were literal. What the Exodus passages describe, actually did happen to Moses in the end.

There is certainly a good correlation between the two incidents. Many do find it hard to accept the fact that God was willing to kill Moses for violating the covenant of circumcision. This is completely unwarranted because we see that God had no problem taking his life because he violated typology and failed to glorify God.
