Absurdities From the Bible #2
“Word of the Lord”
I had fun analyzing verses in the last article like this one, and there are so many more to take a look at. So let’s dive right in!
24 But it came about at the overnight encampment on the way, that the Lord met Moses, and sought to put him to death. 25 So Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and threw it at Moses’ feet; and she said, “You are indeed a groom of blood to me!” 26 So He left him alone. At that time she said, “You are a groom of blood” — because of the circumcision.-Exodus 4:24–26 NASB
24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.
25 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.
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.-Exodus 4:24–26-KJV
I decided to list this one in both KJV and NASB translations to hopefully make more sense of it, but alas…nope, it still doesn’t make any sense.
So why, and how, did God “meet” Moses on the way to the inn taking on a seemingly physical form, yet later he has to appear as a burning bush that Moses can’t even really look at fully? I’m sure Moses wasn’t…
