My understanding of the murder by Moses of the Egyptian Slave

11 Years later, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his own people, and took notice of their heavy burdens. He saw an Egyptian beating up a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking around and seeing no one else, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 Going out the next day, Moses noticed two Hebrew men fighting right in front of him. He told the one who was at fault, “Why did you strike your companion?”

I see the above text as a verbal puzzle, like

If 1 + 1 = 2, what is 2 + 0?

An Egyptian slave master was beating a Hebrew slave, so Moses killed him with some bare minimum planning. He looked here and there and made sure, sneaky like Adam after sin, Moses made sure that nobody was looking, and knowing that he was breaking the law he in deed committed a great sin. Much like how somebody would too in our times.

That’s the kind of criminal Moses is declared to have been.

Anyway, the next day again Moses finds two men fighting, and Moses knew which one was right, so he could take sides.

Here’s the answer Moses, who just killed somebody the previous day, received this time when all three parties involved were Jews:

The man replied, “Who appointed you to be an official judge over us? Are you planning[k] to kill me like you killed the Egyptian?”

Then Moses became terrified and told himself, “Certainly this event has become known!”

The Jew in the wrong was smarter than Moses, he refused to participate in Moses’ view of right and wrong.

But there’s a little miracle hiding behind this great story:

The Egyptian man who had died the previous day, was born again the next day as the Hebrew slave who was fighting.

I propose that it is Moses himself who was reborn this way in the broader narrative of his Egyptian upbringing. Till the time he reached the burning bush on the holy mountain of a distant country.

So at the time when Moses was teaching righteousness to the Hebrews who were fighting, he was himself wrong and not the Israelite who reproved him.

Moses needed to undergo a spiritual rebirth in a far away land before he could come back as the right winner demanding his people back from the Egyptian King. He had killed the disease of the Egyptian office (the real slave because he was not an Israelite and must have gotten drowned at the crossing of the river by Moses and his people).

Basically, what I’m saying is that Moses must have at first needed to become a real Hebrew winner before he could lead his people to success. He needed to kill his inner Egyptian slave that had come into him as a result of his Egyptian upbringing.

Yet he was still divided before His experience at the holy hill of Oneness.
