Because he tried to free the slaves when he lived in Egypt and smote an Egyptian and killed him. For this he would have certainly be put to death, so he fled to Madian. When God called him to free Egypt he was afraid for his life, even though many years had passed, but Moses stuttered so it was unmistakably recognized by it. He was afraid to return and put to death. That is why, God assures him that all the people who wanted to kill him are no longer living.
