Exodus Chapter 4, Verse 24
From BibleWiki
24: And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met
him, and sought to kill him.
24: And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to slay him.
But if Moses was to carry out the divine commission with success, he must first of all prove himself to be a faithful servant of Jehovah in his own house. This he was to learn from the occurrence at the inn: an occurrence which has many obscurities on account of the brevity of the narrative, and has received many different interpretations. When Moses was on the way, Jehovah met him at the resting-place (מלון, see Gen 42:27), and sought to kill him. In what manner, is not stated: whether by a sudden seizure with some fatal disease, or, what is more probable, by some act proceeding directly from Himself, which threatened Moses with death.
