Parallel wording Exodus and the Story of Jesus's Birth!

Luk 2:8    And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

Luk 2:9    And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

Luk 2:10    And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Luk 2:11    For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 2:8    And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

Luk 2:9    And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

Luk 2:10    And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Luk 2:11    For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

I was struck by the use of parallel wording that is found in the Exodus story in which sore afraid fear, the assurance to fear not and the announcement of The Lord"s day of salvation are echoed.

Exo 14:10    And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

Exo 14:11    And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

Exo 14:12    Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

Exo 14:13    And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

It's also true that though God lead his people out of Egypt in Exodus, that God also lead Jesus' family to flee to Egypt for a time of safety after his birth...

Mat 2:13    And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Mat 2:14    When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Mat 2:15    And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
