"What meaning then was attached to Christ's presentation! But the priest did not see through the veil; he did not read the mystery beyond. The presentation of infants was a common scene. Day after day the priest received the redemption money as the babes were presented to the Lord. Day after day he went through the routine of his work, giving little heed to the parents or children, unless he saw some indication of the wealth or high rank of the parents. Joseph and Mary were poor; and when they came with their child, the priests saw only a man and woman dressed as Galileans, and in the humblest garments.

"And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;"
The EGW passage elaborates on the event described in Luke 2:22, providing details about the scene and the priest's perspective. It's not a direct quote, but a narrative expansion of the biblical account.
The priest went through the ceremony of his official work. He took the child in his arms, and held it up before the altar.

He did not think that this babe was He whose glory Moses had asked to see. But One greater than Moses lay in the priest's arms; and when he enrolled the child's name, he was enrolling the name of One who was the foundation of the whole Jewish economy. That name was to be its death warrant; for the system of sacrifices and offerings was waxing old; the type had almost reached its antitype, the shadow its substance. DA 52.2 The Sh…
"And having an high priest over the house of God;"
Ellen White directly references Hebrews 10:21 in this passage.
"For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you."
The EGW passage directly quotes Acts 3:22 and connects it to the presentation of Jesus in the temple, drawing a parallel between Moses' prophecy and the infant Jesus.
