9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became aher son. So she called his name1 Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Moses Flees to Midian
11 Now it came to pass in those days, awhen Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he akilled the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 And awhen he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men bwere fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, a“Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” So Moses bfeared and said, “Surely this thing is known!”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But aMoses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of bMidian; and he sat down by ca well.
16 aNow the priest of Midian had seven daughters. bAnd they came and drew water, and they filled the ctroughs to water their father’s flock.
17 Then the ashepherds came and bdrove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and cwatered their flock.
