Exodus 4:29

World English Bible

Contextual Overview

²⁴ It happened on the way at a lodging place, that Yahweh met him and wanted to kill him. ²⁵ Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me." ²⁶ So he let him alone. Then she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision. ²⁷ Yahweh said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses and Aaron went,.... Set forward for Egypt: and being come thither,

gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel; the heads of tribes and families, as many as they could conveniently get together in one place; probably in the metropolis of the kingdom, where Pharaoh's palace was, since we quickly hear of their going in to him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All the elders - The Israelites retained their own national organization; their affairs were administered by their own elders, who called a public assembly Exodus 4:31 to hear the message brought by Moses and Aaron.
