**Exodus is the account of Israel's exodus(exit)from Egypt?
**Leviticus has to do with God's law administered through the Levitical priesthood(the family of 'Levi').
**Numbers relates to the 'two numberings of the sons of Israel' (census) by Moses when the tribes of Israel were being registered and organized.
**Deuteronomy was actually originally named Devarim (meaning 'words'). The Septuagint Greek title 'Deuteronomion', ("Repetition of the Law"(Deut. 17:18) is actually more of an explanation of the Law (God's 'words').
