Notes
Moses, when he was grown: He took a public stand with the people of Israel instead of being known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, who had adopted him (see Exodus 2:11–15 and Exodus 2:3–10). He chose to share in the suffering of God's people, just as the readers of this letter were encouraged to do (see Hebrews 10:32–34).
These strong examples of faith start with Abraham's family and end with Rahab. They show that faith is the only way to respond to God.
Chapter 11 gives a long list of people who trusted God. This shows clearly that living by faith is the only true way to follow God. The writer keeps repeating the words “by faith” to make this message clear. Each example follows the same pattern:
(a) the phrase by faith,
(b) the person's name,
(c) the event or action showing faith, and
(d) the result.
