The water Israel crosses (Exodus 14), and one of the most argued-over locations in the Bible. ⚠️ The Hebrew is YAM SUPH, 'sea of REEDS' — suph is the marsh growth of the Nile's edge, the same word used of the reeds among which the infant Moses was hidden (2:3). The Greek Old Testament rendered it 'Red Sea,' and through the Latin and the KJV that is how English inherited it. ⚠️ Three candidate zones, each with a real case: (1) the NORTHERN LAKES — Lake Timsah or the Bitter Lakes in the isthmus of Suez, which suits the literal 'sea of reeds' (papyrus grows in fresh and brackish marsh, not in the salt Red Sea) and the short march from Goshen; (2) the GULF OF SUEZ, the western arm of the Red Sea — the traditional identification held by ancient Jewish and early Christian writers, and the site explored in the film below; (3) the GULF OF AQABA, the eastern arm, argued by those who place Mount Sinai in Arabia (Galatians 4:25 is enlisted for this), a view that is popular but contested. Complicating all of it: yam suph elsewhere plainly means the Gulf of Aqaba (1 Kings 9:26, where Solomon's fleet is built at Ezion-geber) — so the phrase does not name one fixed body of water. ⚠️ The three camp-sites of 14:2 (Pi-hahiroth, Migdol, Baal-zephon) are given with striking precision and none can be securely located, which is the honest state of the question. The map marks the traditional zone approximately.
