18And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.
20And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.
21And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.
22And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:
23And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.
24Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.
