Moses made a choice to stand up for the Hebrew people even though he was being raised as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. What made him make that choice? When he made the choice, what did he refuse and what did he actually choose? When did he make the choice and why?

2. Hebrews 11:24-26 - By faith Moses,

riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he
looked to the reward.

king over Egypt, who did not know
Joseph. And he said to his people, “Look,

let us deal shrewdly with them,

26. lest they multiply, and it happen, in the
event of war, that they also join our
enemies and fight against us, and so go
up out of the land.” Therefore they set
taskmasters over them to afflict them
with their burdens. And they

27. built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom
and Raamses. But the more they afflicted
them, the more they multiplied and
grew. And they were in dread of the
children of Israel. So the Egyptians
made the children of Israel serve

28. with rigor. And they made their lives
bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in
brick, and in all manner of service in the
field. All their service in which they made
them serve was with rigor.
