Exodus 2:11-15

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ And then^[a] in those days when Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers, and he saw their forced labor,^[b] and he saw an Egyptian man striking a Hebrew man, one of his brothers.^{[c] 12} And he turned here and there, and he saw no one,^[d] and he struck the Egyptian, and he hid him in the sand. ¹³ And he went out on the second day, and there were two Hebrew men fighting, and he said to the guilty one, “Why do you strike your neighbor?” ¹⁴ And he said, “Who appointed you as a commander^[e] and a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?” And Moses was afraid, and he said, “Surely the matter has become known.” ¹⁵ And Pharaoh heard this matter, and he sought to kill Moses, and Moses fled from Pharaoh, and he lived in the land of Midian, and he lived at a certain well.^[f]
