Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
(Eng., "exodus"), lit. signifies "a way out" (ex, "out," hodos, "a way"); hence, "a departure," especially from life, "a decease;" in Luke 9:31 , of the Lord's death, "which He was about to accomplish;" in 2—Peter 1:15 , of Peter's death (marg., "departure" in each case); "departure" in Hebrews 11:22 , RV. See Departure.
lit., "to end," is used intransitively and translated "deceased" in Matthew 22:25 . See Death , A, No. 3, DIE.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Decease . The Gr. word exodos (‘exodus,’ ‘outgoing’) is translated ‘decease’ in Luke 9:31 and 2 Peter 1:15 , the meaning being departure out of the world. In this sense the Gr. word is used also in Wis 3:2; Wis 7:6 , Sir 38:23 . The opposite, eisodos , is used of the ‘coming’ of Christ. The only other occurrence of the Gr. exodos in NT is in Hebrews 11:22 , of the Exodus from Egypt (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘departure’).
