Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

he looked: Acts 7:24-26

slew: If the Egyptian killed the Hebrew, Moses only acted agreeably to the divine law - Genesis 9:6 in thus slaying the Egyptian; nor did he violate the law of Egypt; for, according to Diodorus Siculus - 1. 1. 17 "he who saw a man killed, or violently assaulted on the highway, and did not rescue him, if he could, was punished with death." Moses, therefore, in this transaction, acted as a brave and good man; especially as at this time there was little probability of obtaining justice on an Egyptian murderer.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he looked this way, and that way,.... All around, to observe if there were any within sight who could see what he did; which did not arise from any consciousness of any evil he was about to commit, but for his own preservation, lest if seen he should be accused to Pharaoh, and suffer for it:

and when he saw that there was no man; near at hand, that could see what he did, and be a witness against him:

he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand; in a sandy desert place hard by, where having slain him with his sword, he dug a hole, and put him into it; :-. Of the slaughter of the Egyptian, and the following controversy about it, Demetrius g, an Heathen writer, treats of in perfect agreement with the sacred Scriptures.

g Apud Euseb. Praepar. Evangel. l. 9. c. 19. p. 439.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The slaying of the Egyptian is not to be justified, or attributed to a divine inspiration, but it is to be judged with reference to the provocation, the impetuosity of Moses’ natural character, perhaps also to the habits developed by his training at the court of Pharaoh. The act involved a complete severance from the Egyptians, but, far from expediting, it delayed for many years the deliverance of the Israelites. Forty years of a very different training prepared Moses for the execution of that appointed work.
