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.

Exodus 2:11-15
By this time, Moses is approaching 40 years old, if he is not 40 already. So he is quite grown. He is an adult and had been adult for 20 years or so. He had had a lot of experiences, but it is just, finally, after all these years, that he takes the time to look at his kin, the Israelites, and see what they were going through.
