Why did God want to kill this person?

"The LORD met him, and sought to kill him." is speaking of Moses as he traveled back to Egypt to free the Hebrew people. Zipporah was his wife. Most scholars, I think, see this as an illness of some type that came upon Moses from God because he had not circumcised his male children. Perhaps his wife had refused to allow it, and Moses didn't push her.

As the leader of the Hebrew people, Moses must keep the commandment of circumcision given to Abraham.

peace to youraying:

 

Moses was about to take on the role of leader of the People of Israel.

James 4 "let not many of you seek to become teachers for as such you will incur a stricter judgment".

The leader must also be the example.

BTW - this is a real angel and it is Zipporah reallying fearing for their life - and taking drastic action!

In Christ,

Bob

 

xdx, you need to rightly divide those scriptures in the OT and NT that were written to Jews. You can get some great insights into that at the link I previously gave you. Or will you simply ignore it, like you ignore so much else that people try to do to help you? Have you even started on the study of Mark, and then from Acts 9 onward? Or will you just turn on the TV or internet to find some preacher who scares the living daylights out of you? You were bought with a price, xdx. Lean not to your own understanding, but in ALL your ways acknowledge HIM. If that includes taking a simple pill to calm you down, then so be it. Take the pill! You need help, big time. With your language skills and education you could be healthy, wealthy, and wise if you'd just LISTEN once in a while.

Second chance to do something constructive. Don't challenge it, just go with it:

That happens when you ignore responses to your questions.
