[QUOTE="Doctor.Sphinx, post: 73088476, member: 404760"] As I understand it, Moses broke the covenant of circumcision - "your foreskin or your life", so God was going to "cut him off", just as Moses didn't cut off the foreskin of his son. Genesis 7:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant. Reading the extra-biblical texts, this may have been something to do with his father-in-law being opposed to circumcision. Fortunately, the righteous Zipporah steps in and does the job for Moses, fulfilling his part in the covenant and saving Moses from death. It sounds as if she may not have been pleased having to unexpectedly deal with blood and foreskin - understandably so, poor girl, as circumcision is kind of a man's job - by her comment about the "bloody husband". Exodus 4:24-25 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. [/QUOTE]
