007:024 Seeing one of them wrongfully treated he took his part, and secured justice for the ill-treated man by striking down the Egyptian.

007:026 The next day, also, he came and found two of them fighting, and he endeavoured to make peace between them. "`Sirs,' he said, `you are brothers. Why are you wronging one another?'
007:027 "But the man who was doing the wrong resented his interference, and asked, "`Who appointed you magistrate and judge over us?

of Mount Sinai an angel in the middle of a flame of fire
in a bush.

007:032 "`I am the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac,
and of Jacob.' "Quaking with fear Moses did not dare gaze.
