The Hebrew verb mashah means to draw out, particularly from water. It occurs only 3 times in the OT, most notably as the etymology of the name Moses (H4872) — 'because I drew him out of the water' (Exodus 2:10). The word beautifully encapsulates Moses' destiny in his very name.
The etymology of Moses from mashah is deeply theological. A Hebrew baby drawn from the Nile's waters would become the one who led Israel through the waters of the Red Sea. God's providential naming points to His sovereign plan. The act of drawing out (mashah) prefigures God's great act of drawing His people out of slavery. In Christian typology, Moses prefigures Christ — who draws humanity out of the waters of sin and death into new life.
