Shemot 2:14
*וַ֠יֹּ֠אמֶר מִ֣י שָֽׂמְךָ֞ לְאִ֨ישׁ שַׂ֤ר וְשֹׁפֵט֙ עָלֵ֔ינוּ הַלְהׇרְגֵ֙נִי֙ אַתָּ֣ה אֹמֵ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָרַ֖גְתָּ אֶת־הַמִּצְרִ֑י וַיִּירָ֤א מֹשֶׁה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר אָכֵ֖ן נוֹדַ֥ע הַדָּבָֽר׃ He retorted, “Who made you chief and ruler over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was frightened, and thought: Then the matter is known!
- and the evil man said: "who made you someone to judge" "do you want to kill me as you killed that egyptian"
1. Explanation
- Moshe was scared because he thought that nobody knew what happened yesterday, but there were witnesses
- This led to his dissapointment–he thought his murder was a secret
There is a midrash:
Now i imderstamd something i didnt know then. Now i understand why the jews are being punished: they are fighting amongst themselves
