Yam Suph

In the Exodus narrative, Yam Suph (Hebrew: יַם-סוּף, romanized: Yam-Sūp̄, lit. 'Reed Sea') or Reed Sea, sometimes translated as Sea of Reeds, is the body of water which the Israelites crossed following their exodus from Egypt. The same phrase appears in over 20 other places in the Hebrew Bible. This has traditionally been interpreted as referring to the Red Sea, following the Greek Septuagint's rendering of the phrase. However the appropriate translation of the phrase remains a matter of dispute; as does the exact location referred to.
