13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?” (Exo 2:11-13) 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. “And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. In this case, Moses did kill the Egyptian: “And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:” (Acts 7:24) Of course, the high priest’s servant was not killed.
