J. Coert Rylaarsdam, for many years professor of Old Testament at Chicago Seminary, made a revealing statement about the setting of this passage. He wrote: "Moses had adjusted himself to the Shepherd's life."
Moses had already passed through the crisis of his crime. His murder is history; the Egyptian king, who sought to punish him, is dead. He has found safety a vocation, and a family in the land of Midian. No more fear, no hostility; he is "well adjusted" to life.
