Moses Flees to Midian
11 aOne day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their bburdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.1
4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your kburdens.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, lthe people of the land are now many,1 and you make them rest from their burdens!”
6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord, and bI will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of cjudgment. 7 dI will etake you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
6 “I relieved your1 shoulder of the nburden;
your hands were freed from the basket.
