Exodus 2:11-15
New King James Version
Moses Flees to Midian(A)
11 Now it came to pass in those days, (B)when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he (C)killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 And (D)when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men (E)were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, (F)“Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”
So Moses (G)feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!” 15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But (H)Moses fled from [a]the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of (I)Midian; and he sat down by (J)a well.

Exodus 2:11-15
New International Version
Moses Flees to Midian
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people(A) were and watched them at their hard labor.(B) He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”(C)
14 The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us?(D) Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill(E) Moses, but Moses fled(F) from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian,(G) where he sat down by a well.
