(Exodus 14:22-31) There has been great diversity of opinion as
to the precise place where this occurred. The difficulty of arriving
at any definite conclusion on the matter is much increased by the
consideration that the head of the Gulf of Suez, which was the branch
of the sea that was crossed, must have extended at the time of the
Exodus probably 50 miles farther north than it does at present. Some
have argued that the crossing took place opposite the Wady Tawarik,
where the sea is at present some 7 miles broad. But the opinion that
seems to be best supported is that which points to the neighbourhood
of Suez. This position perfectly satisfies all the conditions of the
stupendous miracle as recorded in the sacred narrative.
