the inn   "Gen 42:27; The account in this and the two following verses, although rather obscure, seems to imply, that on their way to the land of Egypt, an angel appeared to Moses, and sought to kill his son, on account of his father's non-observance of the LORD's positive command to Abraham, that every man child of the Jewish nation, or born in his house in servitude, should be circumcised on the eighth day; and the Zipporah, at the command of Moses, immediately fulfilled the injunction, and thus averted the wrath of God, denounced against the disobedient: ""The uncircumcised man child, whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people.""; Gen 17:14"
the LORD   Exd 3:18; Num 22:22,23; 1Ch 21:16; Hsa 13:8
sought   Gen 17:14; Lev 10:3; 1Ki 13:24
