Exodus 2:11-13

Common English Bible

Moses runs away to Midian

¹¹ One day after Moses had become an adult, he went out among his people and he saw their forced labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. ¹² He looked around to make sure no one else was there. Then he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

¹³ When Moses went out the next day, he saw two Hebrew men fighting with each other. Moses said to the one who had started the fight, “Why are you abusing your fellow Hebrew?”
