Exodus 2:15
Compare all
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.  
18 When they came to aReuel their father, bhe said, “How is it that you have come so soon today?”  
19 And they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock.”
20 So he said to his daughters, “And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may aeat bread.”  
21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave aZipporah his daughter to Moses.  
22 And she bore him a son. He called his name aGershom, for he said, “I have been ba stranger in a foreign land.”  
23 Now it happened ain the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel bgroaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and ctheir cry came up to God because of the bondage.

Exodus 2:15

No Egyptian king would have left; such an offence unpunished. But the position of Moses, as an adopted son of a princess, made it necessary even for a despotic sovereign to take unusual precautions.

The land of Midian - The Midianites occupied an extensive district from the eastern coast of the Red Sea to the borders of Moab.
