Exodus 2:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ Later, when he was older, she brought him back to the princess and he became her son. She named him Moses (meaning “to draw out”^[a]) because she had drawn him out of the water.

¹¹ One day, many years later^[b] when Moses had grown up and become a man, he went out to visit his fellow Hebrews and saw the terrible conditions they were under. During his visit he saw an Egyptian knock a Hebrew to the ground—one of his own Hebrew brothers! ¹² Moses looked this way and that to be sure no one was watching, then killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.
