What caused Moses to flee from Egypt?

What caused Moses to flee from Egypt?

• A. Because it was known that he had killed an Egyptian who mistreated an Israelite
• B. Because of famine
• C. Because he disobeyed Pharaoh
• D. Because he worshiped a golden calf

Answer: (A)

Moses fled Egypt because he had killed an Egyptian who mistreated a Hebrew, and word of the murder reached Pharaoh. Fear of Pharaoh’s likely punishment drove him to escape to preserve his life. This moment shows how a protective act escalated into danger from those in power, prompting flight to Midian. The other options don’t fit because famine wasn’t the cause, and the later events of disobedience or worshiping a golden calf happen at different times in the narrative.
