Commentary on Exodus 1:1
Now these are the names (וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת, ve'eleh shemot)—The Hebrew title of Exodus, Shemot (Names), emphasizes covenant continuity with Genesis. The conjunction and links directly to Genesis 50, showing Exodus as the continuation of God's redemptive plan. Every man and his household (אִישׁ וּבֵיתוֹ, ish uveito) recalls the Abrahamic promise that through Abraham's seed all families would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). This opening anchors the Exodus narrative in covenant theology—God remembers His promises even across centuries of silence.
