Exodus 2:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ The man answered, “Who made you our ruler and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”

Moses was afraid and thought, “Now everyone knows what I did.”

¹⁵ When the king heard what Moses had done, he tried to kill him. But Moses ran away from the king and went to live in the land of Midian. There he sat down near a well.

Moses in Midian

¹⁶ There was a priest in Midian who had seven daughters. His daughters went to that well to get water to fill the water troughs for their father’s flock.
