This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exo_2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Ver. 11. When Moses was grown.] In stature and authority, being "mighty in words and deeds," {Act_7:22} being a great orator, a great warrior. {See Trapp on "Heb_11:24"} He was, as Pliny saith of Cato Censorius, optimus Orator, optimus Imperator, optimus Senator, omniumque bonarum artium magister, a man every way accomplished.
That he went out unto his brethren.] Associating himself to them, though afflicted, and refusing the pleasures and "treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of reward" - he { áðåâëåðå , Heb_11:26} cast an eye, he stole a look from glory, when he was on his journey, and so got fresh encouragement.
