Commentary on Hebrews 11:24

Theological / Devotional

By faith. See on verses 1, 3.

Moses. For the record of the incidents referred to in verses 24-29 see Exodus 2:11-25 ; 12:18-36; 14:10-31.

Refused. Moses refused present honor, rank, and power because of his confidence in the high destiny God had marked out for him and his people. To all appearances nothing could be more futile than to hope for such a thing, since the Hebrew people were in abject servitude to the strongest nation on earth. Only faith in the promises of God could have led him to refuse the throne of Egypt.

Son of Pharaoh’s daughter. See on Exodus 2:5, 10, 15; cf. Vol. I, p. 192.
