Many insights are gained by reviewing what terms appear, and which what frequency, in the Bible.  Recognition that certain words are not used is also enlightening.  For example, the word "exodus" is not used even once in the [[Old Testament]].  It appears only once in the [[New Testament]], in the [[Letter to the Hebrews]].  Another term, "expatiate" (meaning to speak or write at length), does not appear in the entire Bible, not even once.
