Section 8: Moses Returns to
Egypt – Exodus 4:18-31
Theme or topic of
this section
God Knows How He Wants It Done- He
Wants It Done Right
Moses, Get Your Ducks In A Row
Sons and Brothers
Some interesting
points
The expression “Israel is my
first-born son”
- It is symbolic.
- refers to the group of people
whom God chose.
- The first-born will carry on –
will inherit. Egyptians, however, will
be cut off from inheriting.
Circumcision
- Moses is to be the leader, so he
needs to keep the covenant with his son (setting a good example).
- blood is protective
(foreshadowing of the blood over the doorways at Passover).
Here is one person’s explanation of
the circumcision in 4:24-26

This is by no means the only
explanation, and if you are curious I encourage you to read several
commentaries on this passage.
