Strong's Lexicon exodos: Departure, Exodus, Way Out Original Word: ἔξοδος Word Origin: From the Greek words ἐξ (ex, meaning "out of") and ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of "exodos" is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out" or "to exit," which is used in the context of the Israelites' departure from Egypt. Usage: The term "exodos" primarily denotes a departure or exit. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both a literal and metaphorical departure. It can refer to the act of leaving a place or, more profoundly, to the departure from life, as in death. The word is also famously associated with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, symbolizing deliverance and liberation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Old Testament, the Exodus is a pivotal event where God delivers the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, leading them to the Promised Land. This event is foundational in Jewish history and theology, symbolizing God's power, faithfulness, and the establishment of Israel as His chosen people. In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "exodos" could also imply a journey or transition, often with spiritual or philosophical connotations.
