11:25, 26 Moses’ decision to forfeit “the treasures of Egypt” and to suffer “the reproach of Christ” should encourage those who have lost possessions and suffered insult for their faith (10:33, 34).

Moses’ choice exemplifies certainty of what he hoped for (v. 1), since he was looking ahead to his reward (10:35; 11:6, 13).
