Moses was raised in Pharaoh's palace but was also aware of his Jewish heritage.  One day, as a young man, Moses was walking outside the palace and discovered the hardship of his brethren. He observed an Egyptian beating a Jewish slave and kills the Egyptian. The next day he sees two Jews fighting; when he admonishes them, they reveal his deed of the previous day, and Moses is forced to flee Egypt and settles in Midian. There he rescues Jethro's daughters, marries one of them--Zipporah--and becomes a shepherd of his father-in-law's flocks.
