end, made mention of the children
of Israel's departure thence; and gave a charge respecting his bones.

(23)By faith Moses, after he was born, was hid three months by his
parents, because they saw the child singularly beautiful; and they were
not intimidated by the command of the king.

(24)By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called
the son of Pharaoh's daughter; (25)choosing rather to suffer
afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition
of sin; (26)esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the
treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of

imprisonment: (37)they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they
experienced the severest trials, they were slain by the edge of the
sword: they went about wrapped in skins of sheep and goats, destitute
of all things, pressed down with afflictions, suffering all kind of
misery; (38)of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered up and down
