Exodus 1

The title of this Book is derived from the Septuagint; in which it is called [exodos,], "Exodus;" or, as it is in the Codex Alexandrinus, [exodos aiguptou,] "the Exodus or departure from Egypt;" but it is called in Hebrew Bibles [w'lh shmwt,] {Weelleh Shemoth,} "these are the names", or merely, [shmwt,] {Shemoth,} "names", from the words with which it commences. 1 The children of Israel, after Joseph's death, increase.
8 The more they are oppressed by a new king, the more they
multiply. 15 The godliness of the midwives, in saving the men children
alive. 22 Pharaoh commands the male children to be cast into the
river. 6:14-16; Ge 29:31-35; 30:1-21; 35:18,23-26; 46:8-26; 49:3-27; 1Ch 2:1,2; 12:23-40; 27:16-22; Re 7:4-8;
