When his anger flared up, he did not see what the right thing was to do, he acted off of his anger. .
The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, "Why are you fighting your fellow Hebrew?" The man said, "Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?" (Exodus 2:13-14) Zondervan NIV. What Moses tried to hide by hiding the Egyptian in the sand had come to be known. When Pharaoh had heard what Moses had done, he ordered that Moses be killed. This shows me that Pharaoh didn't care much for Moses. Even though Pharaoh's family probably cared greatly for him, Pharaoh didn't give much thought to trying to have Moses put to death. .
Moses fled to Midian. While there, he was resting by a well one day. Along came seven daughters of Jethro to water the herds. Some shepherds drove the woman away, but Moses came to their rescue. He watered and tended to the flocks. When the girls told their father what Moses had done for them, he offered Moses dinner. Moses eventually was married to one of Jethro's daughters, Zipporah. During this time in Moses life, something else was happening in Egypt that would prepare a way for Moses to free the Hebrew people. The Pharaoh had died.
The first true encounter with God was about to take place in Moses life. Moses was tending to the flocks and led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There an angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that even though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses went over to the bush to see why it was not burning up. When the Lord saw that Moses was going over to take a look, He called out to him. God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." (Exodus 3:4-5). God let Moses in on His plan to free the Hebrew people out of bondage into a place flowing with milk and honey.
