Years later, Moshe witnesses an Egyptian beating a Hebrew & Moshe kills the Egyptian. Realizing his life is in danger, Moses flees to Midian for 60 years. There he rescues & weds Zipora, Yitro’s daughter.
On Mt. Sinai, Moshe witnesses the burning bush as G-d commands him to lead the Jewish People from Egypt to the Land of Israel. Moshe is given 3 miracles to validate himself in the people's eyes: Changing his staff to a snake, his healthy hand into a leprous one, & water into blood.
Hashem tells Moshe his brother Aharon will be his spokesman; they petition Paro to release the Jews. Paro responds harshly; now the Jews must produce the same quota of bricks as before but without being given supplies. The people are dispirited, but G-d assures Moshe that He will force Paro to let the Jews out of Egypt.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
