Exodus

EXODUS is the second book of Moses, covering a period of about forty years, from 1491 to 1451. The name comes from the Greek of the Septuagint, and means "going out," because it records the going out of the children of Israel from Egypt. The Hebrew name is the words, "These are the names." The first word connects it with Genesis. The two books are parts of one book. Exodus is really a book of redemption by the power of God. Keep this thought with you in reading its chapters. The Redeemer is manifest by name and act throughout. "A new king" is another dynasty, perhaps the Assyrian of Isa. 52:4. The word "Pharaoh" is a general title of king, such as "emperor" or "czar."
