I wouldn't call that murder.
Consider:
- Moses was in a position of authority
- He saw an egyptian official abusing one of the Israelites
- He took action to defend said Israelite
What he did wrong was try to cover it up.
Murdering someone isn't murder? Wow. I mean....well....there it is.
What he did wrong was murder someone, then try to cover it up....then flee the country.
There is the post from JudgeRightly to consider.....if it be factual, then there is the Bible. The bible shows that Moses did in fact commit murder. If one bothers to read the text, one will find that Moses actually looked both ways to make sure the coast was clear before he killed the man.
"So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?”
So Moses feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!” 15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from
the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well."
