2.12 Cumque circumspexisset huc atque illuc. Aug. Quæst. in Exod. De hoc facto Mosi satis disputavimus in illo opere, quod de vita patriarcharum adversus Faustum scripsimus, utrum indoles in eo laudabilis fuerit, qua hoc peccatum admiserit, sicut uber terra ante utilia semina quadam herbarum inutilium ferocitate laudatur: an ipsum factum justificandum sit? Quod ideo non videtur, quia nullam adhuc legitimam potestatem gerebat, nec divinitus acceptam, nec humana societate ordinatam: et tamen, sicut Stephanus ait in Actibus apostolorum, putabat intelligere fratres suos, quod per eum Deus daret salutem illis, ut per hoc testimonium videatur Moses jam divinitus admonitus quod Scriptura eo loco tacet hoc audere potuisse. ISID. Allegorice. Moses, id est Christus, Ægyptium, id est diabolum nobis in hac peregrinatione injuriosum, nos defendendo occidit, et in arena obruit occisum. Latet enim in eis qui stabile non habent fundamentum. Ecclesiam vero in petra ædificat, et eos qui verbum ejus audiunt et faciunt prudenti viro comparat, qui ædificavit domum suam supra firmam petram. Alios vero stulto comparat, qui supra arenam ædificat.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-25 Chapter 1 established the need for rescue; ch 2 describes the preparation of Moses, the rescuer. God used the destruction of the Hebrew boy babies to ensure that the rescuer would be trained (see study note on 2:10) for his task.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

וַ⁠יִּ֤פֶן כֹּה֙ וָ⁠כֹ֔ה

and,looked this_way and,that

These two opposite directions have the combined meaning of “everywhere.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “He looked all around”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּךְ֙

and,struck

The context makes clear that Moses struck the Egyptian hard enough or repeatedly until Moses killed him. Consider using a word that indicates a deadly blow.
