This word literally means ‘departure’, or ‘way out’. The book of Exodus has this word as its title as it describes the story of God’s miraculous deliverance of the nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt during the time of Moses. This event is of great importance in the history of Israel and it is remembered every year at the festival of ‘Passover’. When Jesus talked to Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration, Luke tells us that they discussed His exodus (departure) that He was to accomplish in Jerusalem.
