Acts 7:17-29

Hebrew Names Version HNV

17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God swore to Avraham, the people grew and multiplied in Mitzrayim,

18 until there arose a different king, who didn't know Yosef.

19 The same dealt slyly with our race, and mistreated our fathers, that they should throw out their babies, so that they wouldn't stay alive.

20 At that time Moshe was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.

21 When he was thrown out, Par`oh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.

22 Moshe was instructed in all the wisdom of the Mitzrim. He was mighty in his words and works.

23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Yisra'el.

24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Mitzrian.

25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn't understand.

26 "The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at shalom again, saying, 'Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one to another?'

27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Mitzrian yesterday?'

29 Moshe fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midyan, where he became the father of two sons.

New International Version NIV

17 “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham, the number of our people in Egypt had greatly increased.

18 Then ‘a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.’

19 He dealt treacherously with our people and oppressed our ancestors by forcing them to throw out their newborn babies so that they would die.

20 “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child. For three months he was cared for by his family.

21 When he was placed outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him and brought him up as her own son.

22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action.

23 “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.

26 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?’

27 “But the man who was mistreating the other pushed Moses aside and said, ‘Who made you ruler and judge over us?

28 Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’

29 When Moses heard this, he fled to Midian, where he settled as a foreigner and had two sons.
