the exodus
The great leaving
The exodus refers to the mass departure of the Israelites from Egypt under Moses, as recounted in the Hebrew Bible.
By extension, any large-scale departure or migration of people: the exodus of refugees from the war zone, the summer exodus to the beaches.
The word implies movement away from difficulty or toward something better.
