Conclusion of Why Moses Ran Away

The man said:  'Who made you our ruler and judge? Are you going to kill me just as you killed the Egyptian?'

Moses now became afraid. He knew that people had found out what he had done to the Egyptian. Even Phar'aoh heard about it, and he sent men to kill Moses.  That is why Moses had to run away from Egypt.

When Moses left Egypt, he went far away to the land of Mid'i-an.  There he met the family of Jeth'ro, and married one of his daughters name Zip-po'rah.  Moses became a shepherd and took care of Jeth'ro's  sheep.  For 40 years he lived in the land of Mid'i-an. He was now 89 years of age.  Then one day, while Moses was taking care of Jeth'ro's sheep, an amazing thing happened that changed Moses' whole life.  Let's see what amazing thing this is.

Exodus 2:11-25; Acts 7:22-29.
