Exodus 2:10-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Mosheh, saying, “Because I have drawn him out of the water.”

11. And in those days it came to be, when Mosheh was grown, that he went out to his brothers and looked at their burdens. And he saw a Mitsrite beating a Heḇrew, one of his brothers.

12. So he turned this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he smote the Mitsrite and hid him in the sand.

13. And he went out the second day and saw two Heḇrew men fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why do you smite your neighbour?”

14. And he said, “Who made you a head and a judge over us? Do you intend to slay me as you slew the Mitsrite?” And Mosheh feared and said, “Truly, the matter is known!”

15. And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and he sought to kill Mosheh. But Mosheh fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Miḏyan. And he sat down by a well.

16. And the priest of Miḏyan had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father’s flock,

17. but the shepherds came and drove them away. Then Mosheh stood up and came to their rescue, and watered their flock.

18. And they came to Re‛uw’ĕl their father, and he said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”
