Exodus.Exodus - the word, the name, tells us what it's all about - the departure of Israel from Egypt. But it is more, it also carries the idea of "coming home". Israel left Babylon to come home after the Babylonian captivity; Peter uses the Greek form to indicate his death (2 Peter 1:15) and Jesus, our Lord, uses it in reference to His imminent departure from Jerusalem (Earth to Heaven) in Luke 9:31. So it is not just an "exit, stage left" but rather a "way out" to home. But oddly, other than the Israelites awaiting their delivery from Egypt... as we will see, God has to reintroduce Himself to them as well as demonstrate Himself to the sly Egyptians.
