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.
All Commentaries on Exodus 2:12 Go To Exodus 2

He slew the Egyptian: This he did by a particular inspiration of God; as a prelude to his delivering the people from their oppression and bondage. He thought, says St. Stephen, Acts 7. 25, that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But such particular and extraordinary examples are not to be imitated.
