Exodus 2:11-12
am 2473, bc 1531 Moses Acts 7:22-24; Heb 11:24-26 burdens Exod 1:11, Exod 3:7, Exod 5:9, Exod 5:14; Isa 58:6; Matt 11:28; Luke 4:18 he looked Acts 7:24-26 slew If the Egyptian killed the Hebrew, Moses only acted agreeably to the divine law (Gen 9:6) in thus slaying the Egyptian; nor did he violate the law of Egypt; for, according to Diodorus Siculus (1. 1. § 17), "he who saw a man killed, or violently assaulted on the highway, and did not rescue him, if he could, was punished with death." Moses, therefore, in this transaction, acted as a brave and good man; especially as at this time there was little probability of obtaining justice on an Egyptian murderer.
