    DISCUSSION GUIDE

    This story of God seeking to kill Moses is quite troubling for the reader and the exegete who tries to understand the craziness of this story. It feels like some pieces of the story are missing and we are left to deduce or speculate about the events.

    1. Why did Moses include this story? How does this help us as believers?

    2. Why Would God want to kill Moses after calling him?

    3. Is failing to circumcise a son worth the death penalty?

    4. Does God kill all his children when they disobey or forget a command?

    5. How does Genesis 17:4 affect your knowledge of Moses' fear of death?

    6. How far was it from Mount Horeb (or Al Bad') Cairo Egypt? (Use Google maps)

    7. Why does it say Zipporah and her SONS got on the donkey?

    8. How old would those sons have been if Moses married 40 years earlier?

    9. Did Zipporah and sons ever go to Egypt? How do you know this?

    10. What do you think this little episode did to their marriage?

    Ask these Questions

    Who? What? Where? When? How? and WHY?
    Until you understand the passage.

    • We suggest you print out each of these DOCUMENTS and put them into a three-ring binder for easy access and reference.
