(2) Rejected by Israel he turns to the Gentiles (Exodus 2:11-15); (Acts 7:25); (Acts 18:5-6); (Acts 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 Christ as Prophet (Acts 3:22); (Acts 3:23). Advocate; (Exodus 32:31-35); (1 John 2:1); (1 John 2:2); Intercessor; (Exodus 17:1-6); (Hebrews 7:25) and Leader, or King; (Deuteronomy 33:4); (Deuteronomy 33:5); (Isaiah 55:4); (Hebrews 2:10) while, in relation to the house of God, he is in contrast with Christ.
