Parallels between Exodus and Christ (Literary Study Bible):
"The story of Israel's exodus from Egypt is the paradigm for salvation in the OT. It also sets the pattern for the full and final salvation that God has provided in Israel's Messiah. Jesus Christ became the new Moses of a greater exodus by going down into Egypt, passing through the waters of baptism, enduring temptation in the wilderness, and going up on the mountain to give people God's law (see Matthew 2-7). Like Moses, Jesus is the mediator of a new covenant (see Heb. 9:15). Like the Passover lamb or the offering sprinkled on the ark of the covenant, the blood of his sacrifice is the atonement for our sin. Like the tabernacle, he is the dwelling place of God with us (see John 1:14, where the word for 'dwell' is the Greek word for tabernacle). Like Aaron the high priest, he brings us into the Most Holy Place, where we can meet with God."
