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