This curious passage sits between the scene where Moses tries to convince God that he is not the man for job and his joining together with Aaron to begin their journey to Egypt. The verses say that the Lord sought to kill him, so Moses's Midianite wife, Zipporah, circumcised their firstborn son and in this sign of the covenant he was spared. In our conversation we wonder about the language, the subjects, and the meaning of the "bridegroom of blood" that is born of this covenantal act, and what it might mean for us today. It is a strange passage that has confounded even the most learned of Rabbis and commentators. Join us as we offer thoughts and reflections that come through our relationship with God and one another.
