13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your neighbor? ”
14 “Who made you a leader and judge over us? ” the man replied. “Are you planning to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? ”Then Moses became afraid and thought: What I did is certainly known.
