Exodus 2 Footnotes

2:14 This verse has been taken by some as contrary to Heb 11:27, which states that Moses was not afraid of the king’s anger. Note, however, that this verse only states that Moses was afraid, not that he feared Pharaoh’s wrath. What then might Moses have feared? Perhaps it was the loss of support from his fellow Israelites, since they were willing to betray him. Or perhaps he feared that he had lost his opportunity to be the deliverer of his people.
