Êxodo 2:12
Moses indeed killed the Egyptian and became a fugitive from the land of Egypt, in order to avoid the tyrant of that land. But he would not have killed that Egyptian man before he had first killed the Egyptian man of spiritual wickedness within himself, and had renounced the luxury of regal honors, considering the reproach of Christ a greater inheritance than the treasures of Egypt. — On Cain and Abel 2.4.14
Êxodo 2:15
Thus did Moses flee from the face of Pharaoh, so that the royal palace would not defile him or royal power ensnare him. Indeed, he valued reproach for Christ as more precious than the riches of Egypt. — FLIGHT FROM THE WORLD 4.4.18
Êxodo 2:15
Moses went out from Egypt and was made a prophet and sent back to the people that he might free their souls from the land of affliction. — Interrogation of Job and David 4.4.14
Êxodo 2:23
Finally, the Hebrews who groaned in the labors of Egypt obtained the grace of the righteous. And because they ate bread in sorrow, they were given spiritual food. But the Egyptians, who celebrated such works with exultation, serving a detestable king, did not obtain any forgiveness. — On Paradise 15.75
