Exodus 2:12 in Context — Exodus 2

10 E quando cresceu o menino, ela o trouxe à filha de Faraó, a qual o adotou, e pôs-lhe por nome Moisés, dizendo: Porque das águas o tirei.

11 E naqueles dias aconteceu que, crescido já Moisés, saiu a seus irmãos, e viu suas cargas: e observou a um egípcio que feria a um dos hebreus, seus irmãos.

12 E olhou a todas as partes, e vendo que não parecia ninguém, matou ao egípcio, e escondeu-o na areia.

13 E saiu ao dia seguinte, e vendo a dois hebreus que brigavam, disse ao que fazia a injúria: Por que feres a teu próximo?

14 E ele respondeu: Quem te pôs a ti por príncipe e juiz sobre nós? Pensas matar-me como mataste ao egípcio? Então Moisés teve medo, e disse: Certamente esta coisa é descoberta.
