# Moses was educated

# Seeing an Israelite being mistreated ... the Egyptian
|

This can be stated in active form by rearranging the order. AT: "Seeing an Egyptian mistreating an Israelite, Moses defended and avenged the Israelite by striking the Egyptian who was oppressing him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# striking the Egyptian

Moses hit the Egyptian so hard that he died.

|
# by his hand was rescuing them
|

Here "hand" refers to the actions of Moses. AT: "was rescuing them through what Moses was doing" or "was using the actions of Moses to rescue them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
