How is this?
ולא יכלה עוד הצפינו ותקח לו תיבת גומא
When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus box...
Shemos 2:3, see also Sotah 12.
The Arizal as expounded upon by the Tzemach Tzedek of Lubavitch in his Ohr HaTorah brings that this Teivah box was an Ark like that Noach was "placed in" to protect him from the generation of the Flood.
Other sources add that the gematria of the word Gomeh is 50, representing one of the sides of Noach's Ark as well as the 50 gates of Wisdom. Given that the three months were between 7 Adar. Moshe's birthday, and 7 Sivan when the Torah would be given by Moshe, the Zohar (Shemos 11b/12a) and commentaries based thereon (including the Malbim, see especially the translation by T. Faier) state that Moshe in the Teivah on this date is analogous to the very future Luchos in the Aron, another Teivah! Further sources such as the Munkatcher Rebbe (in his sefer Chaim V'Shalom) based on his grandfather point out that this is alluded to by the word גומא which is roshei teivos for the materials that compose the box: Gemara, Mishna and Orayasa (the Aramaic word for Torah). He states that in this sense all holy books (sefarim kedoshim) thus contain Moshe therein. We can thus say that Moshe represents "Thinking in the Box".
Parentetically, some sources compare his voyage on the waters to that of a soul in a body and the Kabbalah dictionary Kehilos Yaakov cites from Zohar that Gomeh is the acrostic of the names of malachim Gavriel V'Refael Michoel & Uriel who protected him. Some Polishe chassidim have the custom of learning Gemara before davening as the names of these malachim are roshei teivos of the word Gemara and learning gemara has protective powers for the mind.
There are contemporary pundits who claim that even in Torah we need to think outside the box or at least say that we are by necessity out of the box. However, the article here relates this issue to the disagreement about whether the scroll that Moshe wrote was placed in or outside of the Torah Ark. Nevertheless, no matter how one interprets that disagreement, as we see above, there are many other sources that remind us that Moshe was primarily in the box.
PS I recently read a book where the thesis is that Moses was the founding father of the United States: an extremist claim that not only is Moshe in the box but also the founder of "outside the box" as well! Such blurring of borders is a distortion of Moshe's unique role in the establishment of the Jewish people - a universalism that needs to be brought into context.
