Exodus 2:11-15
Legacy Standard Bible
Moses Flees to Midian
11 Now it happened in those days, (A)that Moses had grown up. And he went out to his brothers and looked on their [a](B)hard labors. And (C)he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 12 So he turned this way and that, and he saw that there was no one around. So he (D)struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 Then he went out (E)the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were struggling with each other; and he said to the [b]wicked one, “Why are you striking your companion?” 14 But he said, “(F)Who made you a [c]ruler or a judge over us? Are you [d]intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and said, “Surely the matter has become known.” 15 And Pharaoh heard of this matter, so he sought to kill Moses. But (G)Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he [e]sat down (H)by a well.

11 Now it came about in those days, (A)when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their [a](B)hard labors; and (C)he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 So he [b]looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he (D)struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 He went out (E)the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were [c]fighting with each other; and he said to the [d]offender, “Why are you striking your companion?” 14 But he said, “(F)Who made you a [e]prince or a judge over us? Are you [f]intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and said, “Surely the matter has become known.”
