And I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates. For I will deliver the inhabitants into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

Here: Yam Suf, literally 'Sea of Reeds'. As a boundary marker here it most likely means the Gulf of Aqaba, the arm of the Red Sea at Eilat (compare 1 Kings 9:26).

Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”

Then they set out from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, in order to bypass the land of Edom. But the people grew impatient on the journey

Here: Sûp means reeds or rushes (the reeds of Exod 2:3). Here Yam Suf must be the eastern arm of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba (compare 1 Kgs 9:26, Ezion-geber 'on the shore of Yam Suf in the land of Edom'). It is not the place where Israel crossed the sea at the Exodus.

what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf them as they pursued you, and how He destroyed them completely, even to this day;

Joshua 2:10 סוּף֙ reed[s]

For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.

Here: Elsewhere sûp means reeds or water plants (Exod 2:3, 5; Isa 19:6; Jonah 2:5). Yam sûp is the name of the sea Israel crossed in Exodus 14–15. The traditional English "Red Sea" comes from the Greek translation, not the Hebrew word.

Joshua 4:23 ס֛וּף reed[s]

For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as He did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over.

Joshua 24:6 סֽוּף׃ reed[s]

When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea.

Here: 'Reeds, rushes,' the same word as the reeds where baby Moses' basket was hidden (Exod 2:3). Together the two words make the name 'Sea of Reeds', which Greek and Latin tradition and then English call the 'Red Sea'.

Here: Literally 'reeds' (the word used for the reeds of the Nile in Exodus 2:3). 'Yam Suph' is the traditional Hebrew name of the sea of the crossing. The familiar 'Red Sea' comes from the Greek translation, not the Hebrew.

Psalm 106:7 סֽוּף׃ reed[s]

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

Here: 'Reeds': yam sûf is literally the 'Sea of Reeds', the sea of the Exodus crossing. English 'Red Sea' comes from the Greek translation.

Psalm 106:9 ס֭וּף reed[s]

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.

Here: Part of the proper name yam sûp, literally 'Sea of Reeds,' the traditional name of the water Israel crossed when it left Egypt. The same word appears two verses earlier (v. 7), where Israel 'rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Reeds,' so the rescue happens at the very place of their failure.

wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
