What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] Moshe sees an Egyptian taskmaster beating a Jewish slave and he in this case he's trying to kill him. So he kills the the Egyptian and he hides the Egyptian in the sand. He uses the the earth the sand to cover up the Egyptian because he doesn't want this act to be exposed which is going to be a big point of our discussion. The next day he goes out and he sees two of his Jewish brethren fighting and one of them was about to hit the other person across the I assume the face and Moshe calls out and calls him a wicked one. Wicked one. Why do you raise your hand against your brother? And the rabbis point out he was wicked for raising his hand even though he didn't hit him yet. Because that's not what a hand was created for. He's guiltless in in that his hands are perfect vessels for Hashem's work and that he can criticize another Jew that's was about to slap another Jew with his hand. You cannot do that with your your your right hand or left hand. Those hands were created for something else, not to hit, not to hurt. This is what Mosher was giving him a bit of Muslim. And of course, he didn't like it. He gives back some Muslim to Moshe and says, "Who made you a judge over us? You're going to judge us?" And then he goes so far as to say, "Are you going to kill us like you killed the Egyptian yesterday?" Mosher Rabbenu has what we call a rude awakening at this point in
