The answer is: Midian

Ex 2:15

After Moses struck down the Egyptian, he found himself in a bit of a pickle! Fleeing to Midian was more than just a bat of the eye; it was a courageous escape into the wilderness, indicative of the adventure that awaited him. Midian wasn’t just some random spot on the map—it was a mountainous region located east of the Red Sea, often associated with the Midianites, a people descended from Abraham's other wife, Keturah. This area becomes a pivotal backdrop in Moses' life, leading him to his moment of divine calling at the burning bush on Mount Horeb.

There’s a fascinating cultural angle too! In Midian, he met Zipporah, a daughter of Jethro, the priest of Midian. Their relationship exemplifies how significant alliances and relationships can shape destiny. Did you know that Moses ended up spending 40 years in Midian? That’s a major training period of his own that confirmed his readiness to lead his people out of Egypt.

Echoing through history, Moses’ flight reflects themes common in many stories throughout the Bible—those facing troubles and seeking refuge, happening to meet people who will guide and redirect their lives. From fleeing wilderness wanderers to the leaders who emerge stronger on the other side, Midian was where Moses became more than just an Egyptian prince; he became a shepherd, heart and soul! It's in these moments that great champions are formed, right from unexpected beginnings!
