Exodus 2:11-3:3 (King James Version)

 ¹¹And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.

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

 ¹³And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?

 ¹⁴And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

 ¹⁵Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

 ¹⁶Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

 ¹⁷And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

 ¹⁸And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

 ¹⁹And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.

 ²⁰And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.

 ²¹And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.

 ²²And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.

 ²³And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

 ²⁴And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

 ²⁵And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

Exodus 3

 ¹Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

 ²And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

 ³And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
