Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Exodus 2

Exo 2:1-10—The preparation of the deliverer (Exo 2:1 - 4:28). The birth of Moses.

Exo 2:2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

son

Moses, type of Christ the Deliverer (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18; 2 Corinthians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:10):

  1. A divinely chosen deliverer (Exodus 3:7-10; Acts 7:25; John 3:16).
  2. Rejected by Israel he turns to the Gentiles (Exodus 2:11-15; Acts 7:25; 18:5, 6; 28:17-28).
  3. During his rejection he gains a Gentile bride (Exodus 2:16-21; Matthew 12:14-21; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:30-32).
  4. Afterward he again appears as Israel's deliverer, and is accepted (Exodus 4:29-31; Romans 11:14-26; Acts 15:14-17).
  5. Officially, Moses typifies
    1. Christ as Prophet (Acts 3:22, 23),
    2. Advocate (Exodus 32:31-35; 1 John 2:1, 2),
    3. Intercessor (Exodus 17:1-6; Hebrews 7:25), and
    4. Leader, or King (Deuteronomy 33:4, 5; Isaiah 55:4; Hebrews 2:10);
    while, in relation to the house of God, he is in contrast with Christ. Moses was faithful as a servant over another's house; Christ as a Son over His own house (Hebrews 3:5, 6).
