Introducing the Book of Exodus

The Greek title is Exodus, a word meaning “exit,” “departure,” or “going out” (The Open Bible, p. 80).  In Luke 9:31 and in 2 Peter 1:15, the word exodus speaks of physical death (Jesus and Peter).  This embodies Exodus’s theme of redemption, because redemption is accomplished only through death.

The Purpose of Exodus: To record the events of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and development as a nation.

As we read Exodus, let us see the greatness of our God, the foreshadowing of our Savior, and the leading of the Spirit.
