Exodus 2:11-15

11Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 in thoseH1992 daysH3117, 1when MosesH4872 had grownH1431 upH1431, that he wentH3318 outH3318 to his 2fellowH251 HebrewsH251 and lookedH7200 at their 34hardH5450 laborsH5450; and 5he sawH7200 an EgyptianH4713 beatingH5221 a HebrewH5680, oneH4480 of his 6fellowH251 HebrewsH251. 12So he 7lookedH6437 thisH3541 wayH3541 and thatH3541, and when he sawH7200 that thereH369 wasH369 noH369 oneH376 around, he 8struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 the EgyptianH4713, and hidH2934 9his body in the sandH2344. 13Now he wentH3318 outH3318 10the nextH8145 dayH3117, and beholdH2009, twoH8147 HebrewsH5680 were 11fightingH5327 with each other; and he saidH559 to the 12offenderH7563, “WhyH4100 are you strikingH5221 your companionH7453?” 14But he saidH559, “13WhoH4310 madeH7760 you a 14rulerH8269 and a judgeH8199 overH5921 us? Do you 15intendH559 to killH2026 me as you killedH2026 the EgyptianH4713?” Then MosesH4872 wasH3372 afraidH3372 and saidH559, “SurelyH403 the matterH1697 has become knownH3045!” 15When PharaohH6547 heardH8085 about thisH2088 matterH1697, he triedH1245 to killH2026 MosesH4872. But 16MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and 17settledH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080, and he satH3427 downH3427 18by a wellH875.
