2:12

And he looked6437 this way3541 and that way,3541 and when he saw7200 that there was no man,376 he slew5221 the Egyptian,4713 and hid2934 him in the sand.2344

2:13

And when he went out3318 the second8145 day,3117 behold, two8147 men582 of the Hebrews5680 strove5327 together: and he said559 to him that did the wrong,7563 Wherefore smitest5221 thou thy fellow?7453

2:14

And he said,559 Who made7760 thee376 a prince8269 and a judge8199 over us? intendest559 thou to kill2026 me, as thou killedst2026 the Egyptian?4713 And Moses4872 feared,3372 and said,559 Surely403 this thing1697 is known.3045
