Exodus 4:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Moses Returns to Egypt

¹⁸ Moses went back to his father-in-law Jethro and said to him, ‘Please let me go back to my kindred in Egypt and see whether they are still living.’ And Jethro said to Moses, ‘Go in peace.’ ¹⁹ The Lord said to Moses in Midian, ‘Go back to Egypt; for all those who were seeking your life are dead.’ ²⁰ So Moses took his wife and his sons, put them on a donkey, and went back to the land of Egypt; and Moses carried the staff of God in his hand.
