21-1. When this matter came to the knowledge of Musa (عليه السلام), he departed from there so that he would not fall into the grasp of Pharaoh.
21-2. That is, from Pharaoh and his courtiers, who had conspired together to kill Musa (عليه السلام). It is said that Musa (عليه السلام) had no knowledge of where to go, because this incident of leaving Egypt happened quite suddenly; there was no prior thought or plan. Therefore, Allah sent an angel on a horse, who showed him the way. And Allah knows best (Ibn Kathir).
