The Second Book of Moses called exodusExodus is the record of Israel's birth as a nation. Within the protective "womb" of Egypt, the Israelite family of seventy rapidly multiplies. At the right time, accompanied with severe "birth pains," an infant nation, numbering between two and three million people, is brought into the world where it is divinely protected, fed, and nurtured. The Hebrew title, We'elleh Shemoth, "Now These Are The Names," comes from the first phrase in 1:1. Exodus begins with "Now" to show it as a continuation of Genesis. The Greek title is Exodus, a word meaning "exit." "departure," or "going out." The Septuagint uses this word to describe the book by its key event (see 19:1, "gone forth out"). In Luke 9:31 and in 2 Peter 1:15, the word exodus speaks of physical death (Jesus and Peter). This embodies Exodus' theme of redemption, because redemption is accomplished only through Christ's death. The Latin title is Liber Exodus, "Book of Departure," taken from the Greek title.
