  1. A going out; particularly (the Exodus), the going out or journey of the Israelites from Egypt under the conduct of Moses; and hence, any large migration from a place. 2. The second of the Old Testament, which contains the narrative of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt.

An exodus is an act of leaving; making one's exit. It's a verb intransitive.

What is the Exodus?

In the Exodus, Moses brought the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12). After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.

Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus, which mentions a number of the Plagues ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.

If you haven't read the book of Exodus it is about Isreals captivity in Egypt and their "Exit" to the promised land. The book records the events of Israel's deliverance from Egypt and development as a nation. God delivered them out of bondage as slaves.

The last episode or scene in the play is what the exodus is in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the last episode contains the resolution to the main conflict in the play. It ends with the actual conclusion to the play. The very last part of a play always is carried out by the chorus in ancient Greek drama.

The Exodus refers to the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. The Israelites were in Egypt for 400 years then God used Moses to lead them out of Egypt to the 'promised land'.
