Exodus 4:21-24
21 The Lord said to Moses , "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power ; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go . 22 "Then you shall say to Pharaoh , 'Thus says the Lord , " Israel is My son , My firstborn . 23 "So I said to you, ' Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go . Behold , I will kill your son , your firstborn .""'
24 Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the Lord met him and sought to put him to death .
