Ala-Maududi
(28:20) Then a man came running from the farther end of the city[30] and said: “O Moses, the nobles are deliberating about you that they may put you to death. So do be gone. I am one of your well-wishers.”
30. This happened when in the second day’s fight, the secret of the murder became known and the Egyptian informed the authorities about the case accordingly.
Ibn-Kathir
20. And there came a man running, from the farthest end of the city. He said: “O Musa! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape. Truly, I am one of the good advisers to you.”
(And there came a man) He is described as being a man because he had the courage to take a different route, a shorter route than those who were sent after Musa, so he reached Musa first and said to him: “O Musa,
(Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you.),” meaning, `they are consulting with one another about you.’
(to kill you, so escape.) means, from this land.
(Truly, I am one of the good advisers to you.)
