Exodus 4:24

Exo 4:24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

Ver. 24. And sought to kill him. ] To do justice upon him, according to Genesis 17:14 , and as upon one that was an unfit man to take care of the Church, having no better ordered his own house. 1Ti 3:5 God passeth not by the sins of his best children without a sensible check, especially if scandalous and committed against conscience. He hath much ado to forbear killing us in such cases: he is even ready to have a blow at us, and cries like a travailing woman, who bites in her pain while she can, to be delivered of his judgments. Isa 42:14
