sea of reeds, Sea of Reeds, Red Sea
Facts:
The “Sea of Reeds” was the name of a body of water located between Egypt and Arabia. It is now called the “Red Sea.”
- The Red Sea is long and narrow. It is larger than a lake or river, but much smaller than an ocean.
- The Israelites had to cross the Red Sea when they were fleeing from Egypt. God performed a miracle and caused the waters of the sea to divide so that the people could walk across on dry land.
- The land of Canaan was north of this sea.
- This could also be translated as “Reed Sea.”
