V. 27.— By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. By faith he forsook Egypt...— This refers to the first deliverance of Israel. Moses, after slaying the Egyptian, feared the wrath of the king, and fled out of Egypt; but after he had, by the direction of God, wrought all the miracles, he had no apprehension. The king commanded him to see has face no more. "And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more," Exodus 10:29; previously informing him that "All these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger." This was the effect of faith,— he disregarded the displeasure of Pharaoh, having his eyes directed to the invisible God.
