Exodus 2:11-14 ▼

11 And it came to pass in those days, and Moses had grown, and he went out to his brothers and he saw in their burdens, and he saw a man, an Egyptian, striking a man, a Hebrew, from his brothers.

12 And he turned this way and that way, and he saw that there was no man, and he struck the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

13 And he went out on the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, were fighting. And he said to the wicked one, “Why do you strike your companion?”

14 And he said, “Who appointed you as a man—a ruler and a judge—over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” And Moses feared and said, “Surely the matter is known.”
