Verse 19
"And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt' for the men are dead that sought thy life."
The ridiculous pseudocon that is based on the place (or places) where God thus commanded Moses, whether in Horeb (Exodus 3:1) or in Midian (as here), hardly requires any refutation. Horeb was in Midian! What if we stated that these words are being written in Houston, and at a later time that they were written in Texas? Is that a contradiction? The reference here is either (1) a repetition of what had already occurred at Horeb, or (2) a repetition of God's command to a still hesitant Moses at the place near where Jethro lived. Our preference of these views is the latter, because the other, "overlooks the naturalness in God's repeating the command to a still hesitant Moses."[24]
