He left to the land of Midian after he killed the Egyptian.
Abraham remarried, this time to a woman named Keturah. The children he had with her were: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. Joktan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The descendants of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim and Leummim. The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. Genesis 25: 1-4
Notice the name Midian in the verse. That was the common ancestor of the Midians. So these people were also Hebrews from the line of Abraham and Keturah. Moses sons were Hebrews from both sides.
