hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

24. So far from faith being opposed to Moses, he was an eminent example of it [BENGEL].
refused--in believing self-denial, when he might possibly have succeeded at last to the throne of Egypt. Thermutis, Pharaoh's daughter, according to the tradition which Paul under the Spirit sanctions, adopted him, as JOSEPHUS says, with the consent of the king. JOSEPHUS states that when a child, he threw on the ground the diadem put on him in jest, a presage of his subsequent formal rejection of Thermutis' adoption of him. Faith made him to prefer the adoption of the King of kings, unseen, and so to choose (Heb 11:25, 26) things, the very last which flesh and blood relish.

hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
