23But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:
25and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.
26And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
27But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?
29And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
