DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
The sea at the Exodus (Exodus 14:21). English Bibles say "Red Sea," but the Hebrew reads yam suph — "Sea of Reeds."
Why it’s interesting
The "Red Sea" name comes through the ancient Greek translation; the Hebrew literally means "Sea of Reeds," which is why its exact location is debated. The translation choice quietly shaped centuries of imagined geography.
