20
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father's house three months:
21
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
24
And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended [him], and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
25
For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
26
And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and would have constrained them to be at peace again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren: why do ye wrong one to another?
27
But he that did his neighbor wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28
Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday?
29
Then Moses fled at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

And when forty years had expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
