parshanut torah comment - Why did Pharaoh try to kill Moshe?


Moshe Rabbeinu was raised in Pharaoh's house. Yet when Dasan and Aviram claimed that Moshe killed an Egyptian taskmaster, Pharaoh tried to kill him (Shemot 2:13-15).


Why would an all powerful tyrant kill his adopted son for killing a taskmaster (especially when the witnesses were slaves)?
