The Hebrew title 'Shmot' meaning names, comes from the first verse: "These are the names of the sons of Israel." The English name Exodus derived from the Greek meaning departure (like the word Exit) refers to the main event described in the book: the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. In the book of Exodus, we move from stories of individuals and families to the story of the Israelite nation. In Exodus, the Hebrews become a nation. The book of Exodus tells of the Israelites' enslavement, and subsequent deliverance with the 10 plagues. Moses leads the people out of Egypt, crossing the Red Sea. They arrive at Sinai, where they receive the 10 Contract terms i.e. Decalogue, and other rules. While Moses is on the mountain, according to one of the three accounts of receiving the Law, the people build a Golden Calf. The remainder of the book describes the architectural details and the construction of a portable sanctuary, the Mishkan - and the Priestly garb - albeit interspersed along with many of the laws among the receiving the Law stories. The themes of slavery and subsequent redemption form the foundation for performance for numerous biblical laws.
The eleven parashiyot, divided into fifty chapters, are: Shmot, Va'Era, Bo, Beshalach, Yitro, Mishpatim, Terumah, Tetzaveh, Ki Tisa, VaYakhel, and Pekudei.

You shall receive them back from their hands and burn them on the
altar
as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma before HASHEM. It is an
offering
made by fire to HASHEM.
26 VelakaChta et-heChazeh me'eIl hamilu'im asher le-Aharon vehenafta
oto tnufah lifneI HASHEM vehayah lecha lemanah.
Then you shall take the breast of the ram of Aharon's consecration
and
wave it as a wave offering before HASHEM; and it shall be your
portion.
27 Vekidashta et chazeh hatnufah ve'et shok hatrumah asher hunaf
va'asher huram me'eil hamilu'im me'asher le-Aharon ume'asher

And from the ram of the consecration you shall consecrate the breast
of
the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the heave
offering
which is raised, of that which is for Aharon and of that which is
for his
sons.
28 Vehayah le-Aharon ulevanav lechok-olam me'et benei-Yisrael ki
trumah
hu uterumah yihyeh me'et benei-Yisrael mizivchei shalmeihem trumatam
l'HASHEM.
It shall be from the children of Yisrael for Aharon and his sons by
a
statute forever. For it is a heave offering; it shall be a heave
offering from
the children of Yisrael from the sacrifices of their peace
offerings, that is,
their heave offering to HASHEM.
29 Uvigdei hakodesh asher le-Aharon yihyu levanav acharav lemoshchah
vahem ulmale-vam et-yadam.
And the holy garments of Aharon shall be his sons' after him, to be
anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.
30 Shiv'at yamim yilbasham hakohen tachtav mibanav asher yavo

That son who becomes priest in his place shall put them on for seven
days, when he enters the tabernacle of meeting to minister in the
holy
place.
31 Ve'et eil hamilu'im tikach uvishalta et-besaro bemakom kadosh.
And you shall take the ram of the consecration and boil its flesh in
the
holy place.
32 Ve'achal Aharon uvanav et-besar ha'ayil ve'et-halekhem asher

Then Aharon and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the
bread
that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
33 Ve'achlu otam asher kupar bahem lemale et-yadam lekadesh otam
vezar lo-yochal ki-kodesh hem.
They shall eat those things with which the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them; but an outsider shall not eat them,
because they are holy.
34 Ve'im-yivater mibesar hamilu'im umin-halechem ad-haboker
vesarafta
et-hanotar ba'esh lo ye'achel ki-kodesh hu.
And if any of the flesh of the consecration offerings, or of the
bread,
remains until the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with
fire. It
shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35 Ve'asita le-Aharon ulvanav kachah kechol asher-tziviti otachah
shiv'at
yamim temale yadam.
Thus you shall do to Aharon and his sons, according to all that I
have
commanded you. Seven days you shall consecrate them.
36 Ufar chatat ta'aseh layom al-hakipurim vechiteta al-hamizbe'ach

And you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for
atonement. You
shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you
shall
anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Shiv'at yamim techaper al-hamizbe'ach vekidashta oto vehayah
hamizbe'ach kodesh kodashim kol-hanogea bamizbe'ach yikedash.
Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and sanctify it.
And
the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar must be
holy.

And there I will meet with the children of Yisrael, and the
tabernacle shall
be sanctified by My glory.
44 Vekidashti et-Ohel Mo'ed ve'et-hamizbe'ach ve'et-Aharon

So I will consecrate the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. I will
also
consecrate both Aaron and his sons to minister to Me as priests.
45 Veshachanti betoch benei Yisrael vehayiti lahem l'Elokim.
I will dwell among the children of Yisrael and will be their G-d.
46 Veyade'u ki ani HASHEM Elokeihem asher hotzeti otam me'eretz
Mitzrayim leshochni vetocham ani HASHEM Elokeihem.
And they shall know that I am HSHEM their G-d, who brought them up
out
of the land of Egupt, that I may dwell among them. I am HASHEM their
G-d.

Ezekiel 43
10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that
they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure
accurately. 11 And if they be ashamed
of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the
house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the
comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the
ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws
thereof, and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole
form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the
whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is
the law of the house.
13 And these are the measures of the altar by cubits—the cubit is a
cubit and a handbreadth: the bottom shall be a cubit, and the
breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round
about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar. 14 And from
the bottom upon the ground to the lower settle shall be two cubits,
and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle to the greater
settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit. 15 And the
hearth shall be four cubits; and from the hearth and upward there
shall be four horns. 16 And the hearth shall be twelve cubits long
by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof. 17 And the settle
shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides
thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the
bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and the steps thereof shall
look toward the east.’
18 And He said unto me: ‘Son of man, thus said the Lord GOD: These
are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it,
to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to dash blood against it. 19
Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of
Zadok, who are near unto Me, to minister unto Me, said the Lord
GOD, a young bullock for a sin-offering. 20 And thou shalt take of
the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the
four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about; thus
shalt thou purify it and make atonement for it. 21 Thou shalt also
take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the
appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary. 22 And on the
second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a
sin-offering; and they shall purify the altar, as they did purify it
with the bullock. 23 When thou hast made an end of purifying it,
thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of
the flock without blemish. 24 And thou shalt present them before the
LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall
offer them up for a burnt-offering unto the LORD. 25 Seven days
shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering; they shall
also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without
blemish. 26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and
cleanse it; so shall they consecrate it. 27 And when they have
accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and
forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar,
and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord
GOD.’
