Detailed explanation-1: -The second book of the Pentateuch is called Exodus, from the Greek word for “departure, ‘’ because its central event was understood by the Septuagint’s translators to be the departure of the Israelites from Egypt.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Exodus (Hebrew: , Yeẓi’at Miẓrayim: lit. ‘Departure from Egypt’) is the founding myth of the Israelites whose narrative is spread over four books of the Torah (or Pentateuch, corresponding to the first five books of the Bible), namely Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
Detailed explanation-3: -This small paper is a defense of the claim, expressed by its title, that the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt happened ca. 2450 B.C., at the end of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, as opposed to the traditional view that this historic event should be dated to ca. 1450 B.C., during the New Kingdom.
