Exodus Chapter 4, Verse 19
From BibleWiki
19: And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt:
for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
19: And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought thy life are dead.
On leaving Midian, Moses received another communication from God with reference to his mission to Pharaoh. The word of Jehovah is not to be regarded as a summary of the previous revelation, in which case ויּאמר would be a pluperfect, nor as the account of another writer, who placed the summons to return to Egypt not in Sinai but in Midian. It is not a fact that the departure of Moses is given in Ex 4:18; all that is stated there is, that Jethro consented to Moses' decision to return to Egypt. It was not till after this consent that Moses was able to prepare for the journey. During these preparations God appeared to him in Midian, and encouraged him to return, by informing him that all the men who had sought his life, i.e., Pharaoh and the relatives of the Egyptian whom he had slain, were now dead.
