Bibledoorajar: Oops, Did You Forget Something?

Moses, like Abraham before him, has been given certain assurances that God's Presence would be with him in service. But there came a time when Abraham was to move out that God called him to  "Walk before Me and be blameless". A study of the Hebrew word translated blameless shows it to mean "complete". God expected Abraham to live out his side of the covenant with God wholeheartedly and honestly and the sign of this would be circumcision.

Now, Moses would also have to deal with an ethical dilemma within his own household before he could complete his service in Egypt. It seems there had been an oversight and one of his son's had not been circumcised. This would, of course, present a "blemish" on a blameless walk before God for the act had not been completed which would give Moses and his household perfect standing before Him.
It was all about attaining the Divine standard for man's attainment ethically and righteously.

Zipporah, Moses's wife, observed Moses "pinned down" by a Heavenly Visitor who had the power to snuff out Mose's life. Just how Zipporah knew what the underlying problem was is not clear in the text, but she was aware. She took a flint and circumcised the son and thus completed the missing part of the covenant.

Years later, the Greater Son, completed the God appointed means to allow us to walk ethically and righteously before the Father. I hope you have not forgotten that part. Sure, you can walk in life, but you will not experience complete and blameless service to God without the acceptance of the covenant Jesus supplied.

   "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. "
