Charles Ellicott Commentary Hebrews 11:24

"By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh`s daughter;" — Hebrews 11:24 (ASV)

Come to years—that is, grown up, “when he was full forty years old” (Acts 7:23). The words here used are taken from the Greek translation of Exodus 2:11, where we first read of Moses as openly Associating himself with his oppressed people. When Moses slew the Egyptian who was “smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren,” he in act “refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter,” and chose “to suffer Affliction with the people of God.” (See Exodus 2:15.)
