Exodus 2 reports the birth of Moses and his escape from Egypt, where he was eventually raised at the house of a priest in Midian. Moses would become the great leader of the Israelites and God's instrument to free them from Egyptian slavery. Following are five verses from different Bible books related to the topics addressed in Exodus 2:

Genesis 39:20: "As soon as Joseph came close to the house, she took him through the tunic and said, 'Let's go, lie down with me!' But he left the tunic in her hands, ran away and went out. " This verse illustrates the importance of Moses' escape from Egypt to escape the right death. Moses had to flee to Midian, just as Joseph fled the seduction of Potifar's wife.

Deuteronomy 32:10: "He found him in a deserted land, in a wilderness of wild howls, surrounded him from care, protected him as the girl from his eyes." This verse highlights how God took care of Moses and protected him in the foreign earth of Midian, just as God protected and took care of Israel during the desert journey.

Isaiah 43:1: "But now, thus saith the Lord, he who created him, O Jacob, he who formed him, O Israel: 'No theme, for I rescued him; I called him by name; you are mine.' "This verse shows how God freed Israel from Egyptian slavery and called them by name, just as God used Moses to liberate the Israelites and guide them to the covenant with God.

Hebrews 11:24-25: "By faith, Moses, when he became great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, preferring to be mistreated with God's people to enjoy the transient pleasures of sin." This verse highlights Moses' choice to renounce the comfort and privilege of Pharaoh's house to be with his enslaved people and suffer because of them, just as Jesus renounced his divine privileges to suffer and die for the sins of the world.

Exodus 3:10: "Now go, for I am sending him to Pharaoh to take my people out of Egypt, the Israelites." This verse begins the call of Moses for God to lead the liberation of the Israelites of Egyptian slavery, and is the starting point for the mission of Moses that began with his escape from Egypt and culminated with the delivery of the law and the covenant on the mount Sinai.
