The Egyptian that Moshe Killed - Would Not Father Future Converts

(1/13) > >>

edu:
There is a difference of opinion among our sages by which method did Moshe kill the Egyptian.
Some say by physical means while others say by mentioning one of the secret names of G-d he killed him by supernatural means. Rashi agrees with this second viewpoint.
Rashi adds that Moshe looked into the future and saw this Egyptian would not father any future converts, therefore Moshe killed the Egyptian with one of the secret names of G-d.
If the Egyptian was guilty of the death penalty. For example, because he was a rapist and a Rodef and he was a member of the enemy nation, why was Moshe concerned about the possibility that a future convert might descend from that Egyptian. Usually when someone deserves to be killed, his potential future good offspring is not taken into account.
So far I thought of 2 possible answers.
Answer 1 is based on the first of 2 answers given by Tosafot to Brachot 7a. This view implies that even though someone is liable to the death penalty and it would be okay to kill him by physical means, if you are trying to use at least certain supernatural means, then the standards to kill someone are tougher. So in the case of Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi, the situation did not warrant killing the wicked man by supernatural means, however, in the case of Moshe since no descendant of the Egyptian would convert, even the tougher standards needed to kill by supernatural means were met.
Answer 2. According to some poskim, there is a certain gray area in halacha, where one might not be obligated to risk his life to save someone else, however, it is permitted to take  a certain amount of risk to save others. Moshe felt he fell in that category and so the factor that no future converts would descend from the Egyptian was one of the key factors that led Moshe to decide to take the risk.

I heard that Moshe was the gilgul of Abel, and that Egyptian was the gilgul of Cain, so it was a measure for measure thing.

kyel:
I have only heard of Jethro Moshe's father-in-law being a gilgul of Cain

He was too. There can be more than one gilgul, it's a soul, so like a fire, it doesn't cut in half when it spreads.

Harzel:
That incident happened before Moshe was called by God via the burning bush vision. I think Moshe acted on his own conscience and not on prophetic insight. It is not likely Moshe could use one of the secrete names of god or his angels of destruction since he was not a prophet at that stage and had no way to learn these secrete as he was brought up as Egyptian.
