11 Now it happened in those days, ^athat Moses had grown up. And he went out to his brothers and looked on their ¹^bhard labors. And ^che saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers. 12 So he turned this way and that, and he saw that there was no one around. So he ^astruck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 Then he went out ^athe next day, and behold, two Hebrews were struggling with each other; and he said to the ¹wicked one, “Why are you striking your companion?” 14 But he said, “^aWho made you a ¹ruler or a judge over us? Are you ²intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and said, “Surely the matter has become known.” 15 And Pharaoh heard of this matter, so he sought to kill Moses. But ^aMoses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he ¹sat down ^bby a well.
