The name of the book means departure or the going out, referring to the departure of Israel from Egypt. The verse belongs to the mainly historical first division or history section of the book, covering chapters 1 through 18. More narrowly it falls within chapters 5 to 10, which relate the interviews with Pharaoh, the contest with his magicians, and the infliction of the plagues culminating in the tenth plague in the death of the firstborn and the hurried departure of Israel.
It is part of the detailed account of God's wonderful deliverance of Israel from bitter bondage and oppression in Egypt and at the Red Sea after they had grown greater and mightier than the Egyptians. That deliverance demonstrated His wisdom, love, and power, and His ability and right to rule, along with Israel's obligation to obey. The same history tells how they became a nation with thorough organization, efficient leadership, a complete code of laws, and an established form of worship, centered in the life of Moses as the chosen leader from his rescue in infancy from Egyptian hostility and malice through his remarkable and wonderful experiences.
