Overview

A very important aspect of this 2nd Book of Moses which we call Exodus is its Hebrew title. Exodus is named after the 2nd word of our text, Shemot. This establishes the fact that our text is in respect toward ...These that [are] the named. If we take a step back, Genesis in Hebrew was named after the 1st word in our text, bereshith (In the beginning). Now Exodus is named after the 2nd word of our text, Shemot (are the names). The Hebrew names of Moses Books alternate their titles from 1st word to the 2nd word and repeat after Leviticus (VaYikra) in the names of Numbers (BaMidbar) and Deuteronomy (Devarim). VaYikra and BaMidbar meaning to call and to speak are attributing actions of God toward mankind. In VaYikra, God called unto Moses which was a casual way to communicate as to a friend. While in BaMidbar, God spoke unto Moses in an authoritative voice or an intentional action as a Master to His servant. The actions of God are always paramount in importance to that of His creation, mankind. Unequivocally ...These are the names... w'eLeh shemot and ...These [be] the words... eLeh haD'variym are in reference of His people and per se, not toward God. Man will always take a distant 2nd place to that of God.
