Exodus 2:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² Moses looked all around and saw that no one was watching, so he killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand.

¹³ The ·next [^Lsecond] day Moses returned and saw two Hebrew men fighting each other. He said to the one that was in the wrong, “Why are you hitting one of your ·own people [friends; neighbors]?”

¹⁴ The man answered, “Who made you ·our ruler [^Lprince over people] and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”

Moses was afraid and thought, “·Now everyone knows what I did [^LIndeed the deed is known].”
