So Moses is taking his family back to Egypt because God has told him to return and free the Israelites from slavery. Get a load of this...
Exodus 4:24 "On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the Lord met him and tried to kill him." We don't know if that's Moses or his son that God was trying to kill, or why? Moses' wife, Zipporah, quickly circumcises the son and God leaves them alone.
So it's probably the son and the circumcision defends him against divine harm.
My question is, why would God attack them? Is it some bizarre, hey you need to be ready for anything training? Or is it because his son was not circumcised, I'm not sure if Moses was either because of the fact that he was raised by Egyptians. He might not have known and this was a little "reminder."
