n. mass departure or emigration

This article is about the second book in the Torah. Discussion of the Exodus, a major event in the book, is in a separate article. For other uses of the name, see Exodus (disambiguation). Exodus is the second book of the Torah, the Tanakh, and the Old Testament. In Hebrew, it is called Shemot , based on its first words Ve-eleh shemot (Hebrew: ואלה שמות) (i.e., "And these are the names"). The Septuagint designates the second book of the Pentateuch as "Exodus" (Greek: ), meaning "departure" or "out-going". The Latin translation adopted the name, which passed into other languages.
