The Bible Story Behind Slew In Egypt
Moses had been raised in Pharaoh's household, yet he knew that the oppressed Hebrews were his own people. When he saw an Egyptian beating one of them, his anger rose against the injustice before him. He looked in every direction, saw no witness, killed the Egyptian, and hid the body in the sand.
Moses' concern belonged to the people God would deliver through him. Stephen later explained that Moses supposed his brethren would understand how God would deliver them by his hand, but they didn't understand. The deliverer was already being rejected by those he sought to defend. Slew In Egypt presents that early encounter, forty years before Moses returned from the burning-bush commission to confront Pharaoh.
Exodus 2:12 — “And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.”
The following day, a Hebrew challenged Moses and asked who had made him a prince and judge. Moses realized that his action was no longer secret, and Pharaoh sought to kill him. He fled into Midian, where the next forty years separated this rejection from the public deliverance God would accomplish through him.
Moses killed an oppressor and fled from judgment, but Jesus Christ accomplished deliverance in a completely different way. He entered a world enslaved by sin and death, yet instead of taking the lives of His enemies, He laid down His own life for the guilty.
At the cross, Jesus bore our sins, fulfilled the law, and defeated the powers that held mankind in bondage. He was rejected by His own people, delivered to death, and buried, but God raised Him again. The greater Deliverer conquered not by hiding death in the sand, but by entering the grave and rising from it openly in victory.
