Pastor John,
In Exodus 4:24 is the Lord saying he’s going to kill Moses or who?

Hi, Donna.
As you know, the Bible is unclear as to which one God intended to kill. The argument could be made that it was Moses’ son, since for Moses to bring an uncircumcised son into the camp of the Israelites would have been a disgrace. But it could also be argued that it was Moses, since he had failed to keep the sacred tradition handed down from Abraham.
We can’t know the answer with absolute certainty, but we do know that the problem was solved by circumcising the boy, for God didn’t kill either of them after that.
