The Hebrews also inhabited Mespotamia during this time. Their civilization was a relatively puny one in comparison to the empires of Akkadia, Sumeria, Babylonians, etc. They were probably enslaved by the Akkadians for a time and adopted some of the Akkadian culture into their own.
This is Sargon's birth story, as reported from a Neo Assyrian text from the 7th century BCE.
Here's Moses' birth story, as reported in Exodus 2. Keep in mind that Moses was a 13th century BCE Hebrew, and about a thousand years had passed since Sargon. At this time, Sargon was firmly entrenched into mythological history of the region.Sargon, the great king of Akkad, am I. Of my father I know only his name.... Otherwise I know nothing of him. My father's brother lived in the mountains. My mother was a priestess whom no man should have known. She brought me into the world secretly.... She took a basket of reeds, placed me inside it, covered it with pitch and placed me in the River Euphrates. And the river, without which the land cannot live, carried me through part of my future kingdom. The river did not rise over me, but carried me high and bore me along to Akki who fetched water to irrigate the fields. Akki made a gardener of me. In the garden that I cultivated, Inanna (the great goddess) saw me. She took me to Kish to the court of King Urzabala. There I called myself Sargon, that is, the rightful king.
The story of an abandoned child who grows up to be a great leader isn't limited to Moses and Sargon by a long shot, but these two have some interesting similarities. Another good one is 'The Epic of Gilgamesh" and the story of Noah and the Ark.Now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman. The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews' children.” Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?” And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
