Czym Mojżesz rozgniewał Boga? Problem przyczyny gniewu Bożego w narracji Wj 4,24-26
How Did Moses Make God Angry? The Problem of God’s Anger in Exodus 4:24-26

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is an analysis and evaluation of the ideas of some major exegetes in their attempts to explain the reason for God’s anger in the narrative of Exodus 4:24-26. The author first analyzes the difficulties generated by this problematic pericope, then lays out and examines the related propositions of four different researchers. Based on our investigation, we suggest that none of these scholarly treatments provides a satisfying answer to all the identified conundrums that emerge from the text. With each of the explanations, there are always some problems that remain unsolved. Despite this fact, the best understanding of God’s anger here seems to be connected with the uncircumcised state of one character in the narrative. Although this idea links only weakly to the pericope’s context, it still offers the best solution to the internal difficulties of the narrative.
