19 This king dealt shrewdly with our people and mistreated our fathers, making them abandon their newborn babies so that they would not survive.

20 At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful in God's sight. For three months he was brought up in his father's house,

22 So Moses was trained in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in words and deeds.

24 When he saw one of them being wronged, he came to the aid of the man who was being oppressed and avenged him by striking down the Egyptian who was oppressing him.

26 The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting and urged them to make peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting each other?’

29 At this remark Moses fled and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
