Moses Flees to Midian

¹¹ One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people^(A) were and watched them at their hard labor.^(B) He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.

¹² Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

²⁴ He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian.

²⁵ Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not.
