The second Book of Moses is called Exodus, from the Greek word Exodos, which signifies going out: because it contains the history of the going out of the children of Israel out of Egypt. The Hebrews, from the words with which it begins, call it Veelle Semoth: These are the names. It contains transactions for 145 years; that is, from the death of Joseph to the erecting of the tabernacle.
