Eliezer and the Rescue of Moses from Pharaoh's Sword

Mekhilta DeRabbi Shimon Ben Yochai 18:4

"And the name of the other was Eliezer, for 'the God of my father was my help and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh'" (Exodus 18:4). When did the Omnipresent deliver him? Rabbi Yehoshua said: At the time when Dathan said to him, "Who made you a man, a ruler and a judge over us?" (Exodus 2:14). Rabbi Elazar of Modi'in says: They seized Moses and brought him up to the platform, bound him, and set a sword upon his neck. An angel came down from heaven in the likeness of Moses; they seized the angel and released Moses. Rabbi Eliezer says: The men who had seized Moses - the Omnipresent made them into groups, mute, deaf, and blind. They would say to the mute ones, "Where is Moses?" and they could not speak; to the deaf, and they could not hear; to the blind, and they could not see. And so it says (Exodus 4:11): "Who gives a mouth to man?"
