So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. — Exodus 4:26
After the circumcision, God lets Moses go. The immediate judgment is withdrawn.
This confirms that the offense was the uncircumcised state of the son. Once obedience is rendered, judgment is stayed. The passage highlights both the seriousness of covenant disobedience and the mercy of God when obedience occurs.
