In Exodus 4, we read a passage that is widely agreed to be the most confusing and hardest to interpret sections in all of Scripture. 

Moses is commissioned by God.. and then, IMMEDIATELY, God seeks to kill him.

Zipporah, Moses's wife, somehow knows that MOSES is going to die because their SON is uncircumcised. She jumps into action and has him circumcised, quickly touching Moses's feet with the foreskin....what now?

She then says, angrily if you believe most commentaries, that Moses is a "bridegroom of blood" to her. Sounds terrifying. Makes no sense.

What is going on in this section?

In this episode we examine one theory that, I believe, makes the most sense of all the information we're given, holds great explanatory power, and integrates New Testament themes that we all readily accept as signatures of God working.

An episode about circumcision. What could go wrong?
