“When Moses was forty years old, he decided to visit his own people, the Israelites.
24
He saw one of them being mistreated by an Egyptian, so he went to his defense and avenged him by killing the Egyptian.
25
Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not.

The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?’
