Hebrews 11:26

the reproach of Christ Rather, "of the Christ" (comp. Hebrews 13:13; 2 Corinthians 1:5; Romans 15:3; Philippians 3:7-11; Colossians 1:24). There may be in the words a reminiscence of Psalms 89:50-51, "Remember Lord the reproachof thy servants … wherewith thine enemies have reproachedthe footsteps of thine anointed." By "the reproach of the Christ" is meant "the reproach which He had to bear in His own person, and has to bear in that of His members" (2 Corinthians 1:5). It is true that in no other passage of the Epistle does the writer allude to the mystical oneness of Christ and his Church, but he must have been aware of that truth from intercourses with St Paul and knowledge of his writings. Other wise we must suppose him to imply that Moses by faith realised, at least dimly, that he was suffering as Christ would hereafter suffer.

he had respect unto Lit. "for he was looking away from it to." What Moses had in view was something wholly different from sinful pleasure. The verb is found here only in the N. T.
