WHY EXODUS?
The English title of the book “Exodus” is taken from the Greek word
meaning exit or departure. The Hebrew title is taken from the opening
words in Exodus 1:1, “Now these are the names” (ve-elleh shemot). The
most likely date of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt and
its record in the book of Exodus would be during the fifteenth century
BC. Despite liberal critics’ denials, Moses is undoubtedly the writer God
used because, among other evidences, the Lord Jesus attested to this
(John 5:46-47; 7:19).
