Exodus 2

"Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. " v.11

Read chapter 2
Although Moses was a Hebrew, adopted by Pharaoh's daughter and raised like an Egyptian, he still knew he was a Hebrew and didn't quite "fit in" with the Egyptians. From the movie The Ten Commandments, we see Moses as a child growing up in the Egyptian place and oblivious to who he really was. Scripture doesn't record what his childhood up to about age 40 (in this passage) was like beside what Stephen mentioned of Moses in Acts seven that he was "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in words and deeds." When Moses sees his Hebrew brother, he's upset to the point of killing the Egyptians taskmaster as there was probably no legal procedure or justice for this. Can you imagine what it would've been like for Moses to group up this way? What he was oblivious to? What he was torn up about? How he chose still his family of slaves over a life of luxury?
