DHW Study - Book of Exodus
The name of the second book of the Pentateuch – the first five books of the Bible – is Exodus. This English name for the book is derived from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, which is called the Septuagint (meaning translation of the seventy, abbreviated LXX). The title fits only the first part of the book (1:1-15:21), which narrates the going out of the Israelites from Egypt. The Hebrew Masoretic text has the name of the book as Shermot, which means Names. It is taken from the first two words of the book, ve-elleh shermot – And these are the names. The phrase links the accounts of the book with those of the first book, Genesis. It tells of how God in a great and marvellous way kept His covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by taking their descendants out of slavery in Egypt. In fact the first six words of Exodus is an exact quotation from the first six words of Genesis 46:8. Thus the Hebrew text of Exodus begins with the conjunction “and” (vav) which is translated “now” (KJV).
The theme of the book is in two parts: (1) the deliverance of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt (Exodus1: 1 – 15:21), and (2) the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:1- 40:38). The intervening section (Exodus15:22 – 18:27) narrates the journey of the Israelites on their way to Mount Sinai.
