And he looked round about: and when he saw that there was no man by, he slay we the Egyptian and hid him in the sound. And he went out another day: and behold, two Hebrews strove together. And he said unto him that did the wrong: wherefore smitest thou thine neighbour? And he answered: who hath made the a ruler or a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and said: of a surety the thing is known.
