Why does Nephi refer to Moses?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Book of Mormon prophets used imagery of the Exodus to teach and illustrate numerous truths, including trusting in God (see 1 Nephi 17:23–35), the final gathering (see 2 Nephi 6:14–18), spiritual bondage and deliverance (see 2 Nephi 9:8–11), the resurrection (see Alma 36:28–29), and the power of God (see Helaman 8:11–15)” (Valletta, “The Exodus,” 181).
