The only way it could possibly make the slightest bit of sense is if you look at it within the likely historical context, which was that Moses was a god in some contemporary religion and the story is basically mocking him and showing Yahweh's superiority Was it not because Moses hadn't circumcised the son, so tzipporah hastily did so in his stead? The way it's written, God does not actually speak so we don't get his POV it just states "God intended to kill him" meaning that he must hav given Moses or tzipporah an ultimatum and tzipporah went through with it. In fact the way it's written it could be that Moses was not even aware of what was going on til tzipporah addressed him with the remark after the fact. Its definitely a perplexing passage --- The succotash is suffering. Comic Artist ... Copied to Clipboard! |
