Exodus

Old Testament · 14 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible

Exodus means the way out, and that is the book's whole argument: that the God of the Bible is, at the deepest level, a God who hears slaves and brings them out. If Genesis is the book of beginnings, Exodus is the book of liberation — the story the rest of the Hebrew Bible never stops retelling, the memory Israel returns to whenever it needs to know who God is and who it is.
