what is exodus
âExodusâ is a Latin word derived from Greek Exodos, the name given to the book by those who translated it into Greek. The word means âexit,â âdepartureâ (see Lk 9:31; Heb 11:22). The name was retained by the Latin Vulgate, by the Jewish author Philo (a contemporary of Christ) and by the Syriac version.
