26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said "bridegroom of blood," referring to circumcision.)
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
26 So he let him alone. It was then that she said, "A bridegroom of blood," because of the circumcision.
26 Then God let him go. She used the phrase "bridegroom of blood" because of the circumcision.
26 So He let him go. Then she said, "You are a husband of blood!"--because of the circumcision.
26 (When she said "a bridegroom of blood," she was referring to the circumcision.) After that, the Lord left him alone.

Commentary on Exodus 4:24-31
(Read Exodus 4:24-31)
God met Moses in anger. The Lord threatened him with death or sent sickness upon him, as the punishment of his having neglected to circumcise his son. When God discovers to us what is amiss in our lives, we must give all diligence to amend it speedily. This is the voice of every rod; it calls us to return to Him that smites us. God sent Aaron to meet Moses. The more they saw of God's bringing them together, the more pleasant their interview was. The elders of Israel met them in faith, and were ready to obey them. It often happens, that less difficulty is found than was expected, in such undertakings as are according to the will of God, and for his glory. Let us but arise and try at our proper work, the Lord will be with us and prosper us. If Israel welcomed the tidings of their deliverance, and worshipped the Lord, how should we welcome the glad tidings of redemption, embrace it in faith, and adore the Redeemer!
