Exod.

Religion abbreviation · Bible Book

Exod. stands for Exodus, a Bible book abbreviation.

Second book of the Torah, 40 chapters, telling of Israel's slavery in Egypt, Moses and the burning bush, the ten plagues, the Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea and the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai in chapter 20.

Example: Read Exod. 20:1–17 for one listing of the Ten Commandments.

Usage notes

SBL uses Exod, and many study Bibles and short lists use Ex or Ex.; the form Exo. also appears in older indexes. The Hebrew name is Shemot ("names"). A second version of the commandments appears in Deuteronomy 5, which is why citations should give the book.
