grows out of · out of Egypt

The blood on the door and the path through the water are two halves of one rescue: judgement passed over, then slavery left behind.

grows out of · through the waters

Judgement water carries some through and shuts others out — the flood and the sea tell the same story at different scales.

points forward to · baptised into Moses

grows out of · his exodus

Luke says Moses and Elijah spoke with Jesus about his 'exodus' which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem — the word is deliberate.
