¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, ^(A)“Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”

Moses Flees to Midian^(A)

¹¹ Now it came to pass in those days, ^(B)when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. ¹² So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he ^(C)killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. ¹³ And ^(D)when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men ^(E)were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”

¹⁴ Then he said, ^(F)“Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”

So Moses ^(G)feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!” ¹⁵ When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But ^(H)Moses fled from ^[a]the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of ^(I)Midian; and he sat down by ^(J)a well.

¹² Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because ^(A)you did not believe Me, to ^(B)hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
