“Exodus – part 2 in the story of humanity’s redemption – tells how God brought Israel up out of slavery to men, and allowed them to become His servants. And through miraculous deliverance and covenant law, the Redeemer is revealed. The book of Exodus contains many valuable insights for us today, including God’s methods for dealing with rebellion, His shaping of Moses into a servant leader, governing principles for the just treatment of others, and guidelines for pure and wholehearted worship.”
The word “exodos” is Greek and means “way out” or “departure”.
The English word “Exodus” comes from the Latin Vulgate translation of the Greek. Exodus is the continuation of God’s story that began in Genesis.
