2Exodus Study GuideLESSON ONEOVERVIEW OF THE BOOKExodus 1-40Its PositionExodus is a part of a pentalogy, one of five works which build upon one another. The Pentateuch,penta- (five) teuchos (books) was likely written for the benefit of the second generation to leaveEgypt, the one which would be receiving the land.1.
