At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:
21
And when he was put out, Pharaoh's daughter took him and kept him as her son.
22
And Moses was trained in all the wisdom of Egypt, and was great in his words and works.
23
But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.
24
And seeing one of them being attacked, he went to his help and gave the Egyptian a death-blow:
25
And he was hoping that his brothers would see that God had sent him to be their saviour; but they did not see.
26
And the day after, he came to them, while they were having a fight, and would have made peace between them, saying, Sirs, you are brothers; why do you do wrong to one another?
