Exodus 2:12-19
2:12 He looked this way and that
and saw that no one was there,
and then he attacked
the Egyptian and concealed the body
in the sand.
2:13 When he went out
the next day,
there were
two Hebrew men fighting. So he said to the one who was in the wrong,
“Why are you attacking
your fellow Hebrew?”
2:14 The man replied, “Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Are you planning to kill me like you killed that Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, thinking, “Surely what I did has become known.”
2:15 When Pharaoh heard about this event, he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he settled by a certain well.
2:16 Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and began to draw water and fill the troughs in order to water their father’s flock.
2:17 When some shepherds came and drove them away, Moses came up and defended them and then watered their flock.
2:18 So when they came home to their father Reuel, he asked, “Why have you come home so early today?”
2:19 They said, “An Egyptian man rescued us from the shepherds, and he actually drew water for us and watered the flock!”
