The title of this Book is derived from the Septuagint; in which
it is called [exodos,], "Exodus;" or, as it is in the Codex
Alexandrinus, [exodos aiguptou,] "the Exodus or departure
from Egypt;" but it is called in Hebrew Bibles [w'lh shmwt,]
{Weelleh Shemoth,} "these are the names", or merely, [shmwt,]
{Shemoth,} "names", from the words with which it commences.
1; The children of Israel, after Joseph's death, increase.
8; The more they are oppressed by a new king, the more they
multiply.
15; The godliness of the midwives, in saving the men children
alive.
22; Pharaoh commands the male children to be cast into the
river.
