Exodus 2:11-14 ▼

11 One day, after Moses (drawn out) had grown up, he went out to his own people (his brothers) and observed their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian (double straits) beating a Hebrew (one from beyond), one of his own people.

12 After looking this way and that and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian (double straits) and hid his body in the sand.

13 The next day Moses went out and saw two Hebrews (those from beyond) fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your companion?”

14 But the man replied, “Who made you ruler and judge over us ? Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian [yesterday]? Then Moses (drawn out) was afraid and thought, “This thing I have done has surely become known.”
