The Book of Exodus (from Ancient Greek: Ἔξοδος, romanized: Éxodos; Biblical Hebrew: שְׁמוֹתŠəmōṯ, 'Names'; Latin: Liber Exodus) is the second book of the Bible. It is a narrative of the Exodus, the origin myth of the Israelites leaving slavery in Biblical Egypt through the strength of their deity named Yahweh, who according to the story chose them as his people. The Israelites then journey with the legendary prophet Moses to Mount Sinai, where Yahweh gives the Ten Commandments and they enter into a covenant with Yahweh, who promises to make them a "holy nation, and a kingdom of priests" on condition of their faithfulness. He gives them their laws and instructions to build the Tabernacle, the means by which he will come from heaven and dwell with them and lead them in a holy war to conquer Canaan (the "Promise

The Book of Exodus: A Biography (Lives of Great Religious Books)

Exodus is the second book of the Hebrew Bible, but it may rank first in lasting cultural importance. It is here that the classic biblical themes of oppression and redemption, of human enslavement and divine salvation, are most dramatically expressed. Joel Baden tells the story of this influential and enduring book, tracing how its famous account of the Israelites’ journey to the promised land has been adopted and adapted for millennia, often in unexpected ways.

In fact, for many connoisseurs, Exodus are the ultimate thrash metal band, with a sound that was revolutionary back in the early ‘80s, and still way ahead of the curve today. Never mind the Big Four. Exodus are the rightful kings of thrash, and Bonded By Blood is still the ultimate expression of the genre’s snotty, energized essence.

Exodus are poised to celebrate the anniversary of their debut album’s release next year, with as-yet-unspecified plans to commemorate the occasion with some special live shows. But beyond a fully justified act of nostalgia, the future will also bring a brand new Exodus st
