Hebrews 11:24

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

Ver. 24. When he was come to years] Gr. μεγας γενομενος, grown a great one, and so knew what he did, understood himself sufficiently.

Refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's] And so to succeed in the kingdom (for we read not of any son that Pharaoh had), yea, in the kingdom of Ethiopia too; for being sent on his fosterfather's quarrel against the king of Ethiopia, histories tell us that he afterwards married thai king's daughter; for the which he was checked of his brother and sister, Numbers 12:1. But he could have told them, that for denying the title of son of Pharaoh's daughter, he was soon after called Pharaoh's god,Exodus 7:1; and what he lost in Ethiopia, was sufficiently made up to him when he became king in Jeshurun. Howsoever, gratius ei fuit nomen pietatis quam potestatis, as Tertullian saith of Augustus, he more prized piety than power.
