And Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform.
Moses neglected to circumcise his son, likely because he was too fond of his Midianite wife and too indulgent of her will, and so God met him in anger to kill him. Omissions are sins; the neglect of the covenant's seals shows we undervalue the promises and despise the conditions. Even good men grow slack in duty when cut off from the company of the faithful.

Commenting on Exodus 4:24-31
And Moses and Aaron went,.... Set forward for Egypt: and being come thither: gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel; the heads of tribes and families, as many as they could conveniently get together in one place; probably in the metropolis of the kingdom, where Pharaoh's palace was, since we quickly hear of their going in to him.
After his sin was removed, Moses received God's favour when Aaron arrived to meet him at God's mountain. The people believed when they heard that the Lord had visited Israel and looked upon their affliction, and they worshipped, proving that the promise to the fathers still lived in their hearts, though their faith would soon be tested.
