A Mature and Deliberate Faith
Commentators emphasize that Moses' decision was not a youthful whim but a deliberate choice made in full maturity, around 40 years old. His faith was not based on ignorance or passion, but on a considered judgment to align himself with God's people, even at great personal cost. This models a faith that is thoughtful and intentional.
