Acts 7:24

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

And when Moses observed one [of his relatives] being mistreated, he came to his defense by hitting the Egyptian,

See the chapter Copy

But when he was about forty years old he felt led to visit his relatives, the Israelites [i.e., called Hebrews at that time].

assuming his relatives would understand that God was using him to rescue them [from such abuse], but they did not [seem to] understand.

Are you going to kill me like you did that Egyptian yesterday?’
