New TestamentActsThe Rejection and Flight of Moses · 7:23–297:23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.7:24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:7:25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.7:26 And the next day he shewed himself 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?7:27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?7:28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?7:29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
