Among The Reeds

Exodus 2:1-3 ESV

2 The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3 When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.

Moses was placed in a basket made from the same plant used to make scrolls for writing. The basket was placed among red reeds along the shore. 

He would be given the law and would write it down for the people. The same humble plant would be used to provide a place for the man and a place for the word.

This also calls to mind Noah's ark in the past and the parting of the red sea to come.
