'Wall' — the desert fronting Egypt's north-east frontier, possibly named for the Egyptian line of border forts, and crossed by the caravan road from Canaan. Hagar is found 'on the way to Shur' (16:7): an Egyptian, running home. Israel will cross the same wilderness from the other side after the sea-crossing (Exodus 15:22).
📍 No fixed point plotted — the location is genuinely undetermined (see the note above), so this shows no guessed pin.
🗺️ No ancient-world overlay on the shelf yet for this site — a period map
showing how the region actually looked in the biblical world gets added here as Mr. Librarian curates one,
the same way the encyclopedia's film shelf grows.
▶ No films on the shelf yet — archaeology and geography videos get added here as Mr. Librarian finds good ones.
