Exodus 4:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.

²³ I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.

²⁴ And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.
