你要对法老说，耶和华这样说，以色列是我的儿子，我的长子。
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
我对你说过，容我的儿子去，好事奉我。你还是不肯容他去。看哪，我要杀你的长子。
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
摩西在路上住宿的地方，耶和华遇见他，想要杀他。
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
西坡拉就拿一块火石，割下他儿子的阳皮，丢在摩西脚前，说，你真是我的血郎了。
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.
这样，耶和华才放了他。西坡拉说，你因割礼就是血郎了。
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
百姓就信了。以色列人听见耶和华眷顾他们，鉴察他们的困苦，就低头下拜。
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
你晓谕以色列人说，若有人在耶和华所吩咐不可行的什么事上误犯了一件，
