Quotation for Sotah 25:1

ואומרת עתידה אמי שתלד בן שמושיע את ישראל וכיון שנולד משה נתמלא כל הבית כולה אור עמד אביה ונשקה על ראשה אמר לה בתי נתקיימה נבואתיך וכיון שהטילוהו ליאור עמד אביה וטפחה על ראשה אמר לה בתי היכן נבואתיך והיינו דכתיב (שמות ב, ד) ותתצב אחותו מרחוק לדעה מה יעשה לו לידע מה יהא בסוף נבואתה

and said: 'My mother will bear a son who will be the saviour of Israel'. When Moses was born, the whole house was filled with light; and her father arose and kissed her upon her head, saying 'My daughter, thy prophecy has been fulfilled'; but when they cast him into the river, her father arose and smacked her upon her head, saying: 'Where, now, is thy prophecy!' That is what is written: And his sister stood afar off to know what would be done to him<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. II, 4. ');"><sup>1</sup></span>

Kli Yakar on Exodus

"And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him": this verse is juxtaposed to the previous verse "the jews ascended(Egypt) armed. because it states in the midrach Yalkut of this portion that the jews would journey in the desert with two arks, that of the ark of the Shechinah(the tablets of moses) and that of Joseph and the nations of the world would ask , what is the point of having this ark of joseph together with the ark of the coveneant and they would answer,"this one fulfilled what is in this one", for joseph fulfilled all the ten commandments etc.
