Exodus

Exodus, like Genesis, is a title that is not of Hebrew but Greek origin. The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament, calls the book Exodos, a word meaning exit, departure- a fitting title for that which describes the going out of the chosen people from the land where they had suffered helplessly as slaves for generations. This redemption from Egypt was accomplished by divine, miraculous intervention and required, on the part of the Israelites, only faith in the efficacy of shed blood. As in the N.T., redemption is for the purpose of making possible fellowship of a redeemed people with God. After the accomplishment of redemption from Egypt the law was given, followed by a revelation of the great truths of worship acceptable to God as set forth in the Tabernacle, with its accompanying sacrifices and attending priesthood. In Exodus, God, hitherto connected with the Israelitish people only through His covenant with Abraham, brings them to Himself nationally through redemption, puts them under the Mosaic Covenant, and dwells among them in the cloud of glory. Galatians explains the relation of the law to the Abrahamic Covenant. In the commandments God taught Israel His just demands. Experience under the commandments convicted Israel of sin; and the provision of priesthood and sacrifice (filled with precious types of Christ) gave a guilty people a way of forgiveness, cleansing, restoration to fellowship, and worship.
