Acts 7:29

And Moses fled at this saying, and became. sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

'MOSES FLED'-'Moses had exposed himself to grave peril by his attempt to champion his oppressed people's cause; his action in killing an Egyptian bully was more widely known that he wished..'(Bruce p. 150) He also fled because Pharaoh sought his life (Exodus 2:15)

'MIDIAN'-(MID ee un). 'Situated east of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea, and land stretched southward through the Arabian desert as far as the southern and eastern parts of the peninsula of Sinai.' (Nelsons p. 706) 'The descendants of Midian, the fourth son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:2), occupied. considerable territory, some 300 miles along the Eastern shore of the Red Sea, and stretching deep into the interior. They were. nomadic people, and had very few towns.' (Reese p. 285)

'WHERE HE BEGAT TWO SONS'-See Exodus 2:15; Exodus 2:3. This was the beginning of his second forty-year period (Exodus 2:7).
