What is the meaning of Exodus in the Bible?
The Biblical book of Exodus describes the
departure of the Israelites from Egypt, so it's no
surprise that the word has come to refer more
generally to any mass departure. The word
itself was adopted into English (via Latin) from
Greek Exodos, which literally means "the road
out."
Exodus in Hebrew is called Shmowt, which
means 'names.' ... It is about how the Hebrew
people were led out of Egypt by God. Moses,
their leader, hears God's words and then tells
the Israelites. Exodus ends with God's laws and
his instructions on how to build a holy
container called the Ark of the Covenant.
Why is Exodus important?
Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt and
led them to the Holy Land that God had
promised them. The escape of the Jews from
Egypt is remembered by Jews every year in the
festival of Passover. The Jews were helped on
their journey by God; the same God who'd
promised Abraham that he would look after the
Jews.
What does Moses mean?
According to the Torah, the name "Moses"
comes from the Hebrew verb, meaning "to pull
out/draw out" [of water], and the infant Moses
was given this name by Pharaoh's daughter
after rescuing him from the Nile (Exodus 2:10)
Who led the exodus?
Moses
After the Ten Plagues, Moses led the Exodus of
the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red
Sea, after which they based themselves at
Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten
Commandments. After 40 years of wandering in
the desert, Moses died within sight of the
Promised Land on Mount Nebo.
