Shemot (????) is both the title for the second book from the scroll of the Torah and the title of the first Torah portion therein. Shemot means “names.” The English-speaking world calls this book Exodus. The Hebrew title for the book comes from the opening phrase of the book: “Now these are the names (shemot) of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob” (Exodus 1:1). The name Exodus is an abbreviated form of that title. Exodus means “departure.” . As we study the first week’s reading from the book of Exodus, we find the children of Israel in slavery.
