Acts 7

21  And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

22  And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.

23  But when he was well-nigh 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, smiting the Egyptian:

25  And he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.

26  And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one 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  Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?

29  And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

30  And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
