Galatians 4:25 writes about Mt Sinai being in Arabia in contrast to the current belief that it being in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula. The question then is how else can the parting of the sea be as spectacular as it’s written unless the actual “red sea” was actually the Gulf of Aquaba. So with “Edom” being red, it most likely refers to to the Gulf of Aquaba. Just sharing my thought. Thanks Nehemiah for this input. Shabbat Shalom.
Interesting. This is what the encyclopedic dictionary published by Jehovah's Witnesses, "Insight on the Scriptures", Volume 2, page 763, paragraphs 2 and 3 under RED SEA: "There is good reason for understanding that the original-language expressions rendered “Red Sea” apply to the Red Sea in general or to either one of its northern arms. (Ex 10:19; 13:18; Nu 33:10, 11; Jg 11:16; Ac 7:36) It was the waters of the Red Sea that Jehovah miraculously divided to let the Israelites pass through on dry land, but he drowned Pharaoh and his military forces who came in pursuit. (Ex 14:21-15:22; De 11:4; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 24:6; Ne 9:9; Ps 106:7, 9, 22; 136:13, 15) The Biblical passages relating this incident use the Hebrew expression yam (sea) or yam-suphʹ (sea of reeds or rushes). On the basis of the literal meaning of yam-suphʹ, certain scholars have argued that the Israelites crossed a mere swampy place, such as the Bitter Lakes region, and not the Red Sea (principally the western arm, the Gulf of Suez, where others believe the crossing likely occurred). However, it should be noted that the waters were sufficient to cover Pharaoh’s military forces. (Ex 14:28, 29) This would have been impossible in a mere swamp. Also, Acts 7:36 and Hebrews 11:29 rule out a mere swampy place, for these texts mention the same incident and use the Greek expression e·ry·thraʹ thaʹlas·sa, meaning “Red Sea.” (See EXODUS.) The historian Herodotus (fifth century B.C.E.) used the same Greek expression to refer, not to a swamp or an insignificant body of water, but to “the Indian Ocean, in which the Red Sea” is located.-A Greek-English Lexicon, by H. G. Liddell and R. Scott, revised by H. Jones, Oxford, 1968, p. 693; see PIHAHIROTH." "In a pronouncement of doom for Edom, the outcry resulting from Edom’s calamity is described as being heard at the Red Sea. (Jer 49:21) This is understandable, since Edomite territory in its southern extremity bordered on the Red Sea (1Ki 9:26), that is, the sea’s northeastern arm, the Gulf of ʽAqaba. Israel’s boundary also extended to this point.-Ex 23:31."
And have you ever noticed how the "supposed Sinai Penninsula" is shaped exactly like a tongue? I figure it must be "the tongue of Egypt" which is slated to disappear and the branches of the Nile drain out. (Is. 11:15) Must be a very large earthquake ahead, as I don't see how this could possibly have happened in the past. Any comments on this? NICE to see you 2 together and to learn that Yom Suf is how the ancients referred to the Gulf of Aqaba. &; >.
Hebrew Yam Suf of the Exodus is taken directly from the Egyptian term tjuf "marsh, wetlands, reeds." The Israelites never crossed the Red Sea, and would not have have any reason to do so. Yam Suf = Tjaru/ Sile on the eastern border, at the northernmost point of the El-Ballah Lakes in Egypt in the Ramesside Onomastica of Amenemopet. This was adjacent to the Hebrew Land of Goshen. The Israelites went to Midian by the normal land route. A crossing of the Red Sea has always been nonsense.

Is this guy a scholar? He says it twice that Moses wrote-or is he a conservative scholar?
