And you shall know that I am the L-rd your G-d, Who brings you out (Ex. 6:7)
The Holy One, Blessed Be He, promised the Jewish people that not only would He take them out of Egypt, but also that they would know it was He Who had redeemed them; the redemption itself would serve to deepen their understanding and faith in G-d. Indeed, this is the purpose of all redemptions and salvations: that through them we come to recognize the true Redeemer and Savior. (Sefat Emet)
And she bore him Aaron and Moses (Ex. 6:20)
The Torah specifically tells us that Moses and Aaron were born like any other mortals, to "regular" human parents; the fact that they became prophets and leaders of the Jewish nation was due to their own actions and choices, not because they descended from on high like celestial angels. From this we learn that every individual, through his own efforts and free will, can reach even the highest spiritual levels - even as lofty as Moses and Aaron. (Ma'ayana Shel Torah)
