Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - The second day. i.e. "the following day." See Acts 7:26. Him that did the wrong. Literally, "the wicked one." Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? Literally "thy neighbour." In interposing here Moses certainly did nothing but what was right. The strife was one in which blows were being exchanged, and it is the duty of everyone in such a case, by persuasion at any rate. to seek to stop the combat.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) The second day--i.e., the next day.Him that did the wrong.--Heb., the wicked one. Our version follows the LXX.Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?--Comp. Acts 7:26, where the words of Moses are reported somewhat differently, "Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?" In either case there was no offensive assumption of authority. But the wrong doer took offence, nevertheless.
