MEDITATION
Exodus 2:13-15
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” So Moses feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.

沉思
《出埃及记 2:13-15》
13第二天他出去,见有两个希伯来人争斗,就对那欺负人的说:“你为什么打你同族的人呢?”
14那人说:“谁立你做我们的首领和审判官呢?难道你要杀我,像杀那埃及人吗?”摩西便惧怕,说:“这事必是被人知道了。”15 法老听见这事,就想杀摩西,但摩西躲避法老,逃往米甸地居住。
