The Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who were seeking your life are dead.”
When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. So Moses fled from Pharaoh. He settled in the land of Midian and sat down by a well.
After a long time the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned under their slavery and cried out. Their cry for help rose up to God from their slavery.
“Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.”
