“Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.”
'The next day Moses came upon two Israelites who were fighting. He tried to reconcile them by saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why do you want to hurt each other?' - the narrative moves from Moses defending against an Egyptian to Moses attempting to mediate between Israelites. The appeal 'you are brothers' emphasizes kinship and covenant identity. Moses's role shifts from warrior to peacemaker, but the people's resistance to his authority becomes visible.
