Exodus 2:11-15
1599 Geneva Bible
11 ¶ And in those days, when Moses was [a]grown, he went forth unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he saw an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew one of his brethren.
12 And he looked [b]round about, and when he saw no man, he [c]slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 Again he came forth the second day, and behold two Hebrews strove: and he said unto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he answered, Who made thee a man of authority, and a judge over us? Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses [d]feared and said, Certainly this thing is known.
15 Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
