What did it really take place in Exodus 4:24-26? (Part 2)
So, to figure out this, we need to analyze the previous verses:
• Exo 4:22 -> “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son,”.
• Exo 4:23 -> “ and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”.
Note that the Creator is talking about “firstborn”. This excerpt wasn’t put here in vain. So, in virtue of this, I believe that who was seeking the Creator was Gershom, Moses’ firstborn.
Still about the excerpt above, note that Exodus 4:22 shows the Creator specifying to Moses what to say to pharaoh. However, Exodus 4:23, although has something to do with what was to be said to pharaoh, is a direct reprehension to Moses.
So, paraphrasing Exodus 4:23, we get this: “and I say to you [Moses], “Let my son [Gershom] go [circumcising him] that he may serve me.” If you refuse to let him [Gershom] go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son [Gershom].’”.
The uncircumcision was a hindering to the Creator approach of Gershom, inasmuch as:
• Gen 17:14 -> “Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
Gershom was with his covenant broken because Moses didn’t fulfill it in his life. If the Creator approached of Gershom, he should be put to death in virtue of His commandment (after all, the Creator can’t deny Himself overlooking His word – 2Tim 2:13).
But, there is other doubt:
Why didn’t Moses circumcised Gershom?
Have a nice day. Tomorrow we will carry on.
