Exodus in Hebrew is called Shemoth (שְׁמוֹת), meaning "Names." This name comes from the opening words of the book: "These are the names of the sons of Yashar'el" (Hebrew: וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל).

The Hebrew transliteration is Shemoth (pronounced: shuh-MOHT).
The Hebrew letters are: שְׁמוֹת.
In contrast, the English name "Exodus" comes from the Greek exodos, meaning "departure" or "going out," which reflects the book's central event—the Israelites' escape from Egypt.
The book is the second in the Hebrew Bible (Torah), continuing the narrative from Genesis, and focuses on the birth of the Yashar'el (up right people of Elohiym) nation under El Elohiym's deliverance through Moses.
