Weird Bible stories: Exodus 4 - Moses, Zipporah, and the "bloody bridegroom"

Let's face it...Exodus 4:24-26 is a WEIRD story! Why did God try to kill Moses? Or was it Moses' son he tried to kill? And why would he try to kill anyone?? And what did Zipporah actually DO in that moment that saved the day? So many questions! In this clip, Dr. Carmen Joy Imes, Old Testament professor at Biola University sheds some light on what is going on in this fascinating account!
