Exodus 2:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking about killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid. He thought, “People must have heard about what I did.”

¹⁵ When Pharaoh heard about what had happened, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses escaped from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian. There he sat down by a well. ¹⁶ A priest of Midian had seven daughters. They came to fill the stone tubs with water. They wanted to give water to their father’s flock.
