This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_11:24-26. Progress from the child Moses to the adult Moses. μἑγας γενόμενος , namely, corresponds (comp. Exo_2:11) to the γεννηθείς , Heb_11:23, and μέγας is to be understood not of worldly power and honour (Schulz, Bretschneider), but of being grown up. Comp. Heb_8:11; LXX. Gen_38:11; Gen_38:14; Hom. Od. ii. 314, xviii. 217, xix. 532.
ἠρνήσατο λέγεσθαι ] refused or disdained to be called.
θυγατρός ] not τῆς θυγατρός is placed (as Exo_2:5 ff.), since the author combines θυγατρός with Φαραώ into one single (more general) notion: of a Pharaoh’s daughter, i.e. of an Egyptian royal princess.
