24. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
25. and he supposed that his brethren understood how that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
26. And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
27. But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28. Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
29. And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
