“Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”
He considered abuse suffered for the Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to the reward — Moses reckoned (logizomai) the reproach (oneidismos) borne for Christ greater (pleiōn) than Egyptian wealth. Looking ahead (apeido) to reward, his vision transcended temporal advantage. The phrase 'for the Christ' (hyper Christou) indicates Christological reading of Moses' suffering.
