Rameses, The Land of: (Genesis 47:11) was probably "the land of Goshen" (q.v.)
(Genesis 45:10)
After the Hebrews had built Rameses, one of the "treasure cities," it
came to be known as the "land" in which that city was built. The city
bearing this name
(Exodus 12:37) was probably identical with Zoan,
which Rameses II. ("son of the sun") rebuilt. It became his special
residence, and ranked next in importance and magnificance to Thebes.
Huge masses of bricks, made of Nile mud, sun-dried, some of them mixed
with stubble, possibly moulded by Jewish hands, still mark the site of
Rameses. This was the general rendezvous of the Israelites before they
began their march out of Egypt. Called also Raamses
(Exodus 1:11)
