The Sacred Biblical History of the Old Testament Pushkar Boris (Bishop Veniamin) Nikolaevich
A wonderful passage through the Red (Red) Sea.
Meanwhile, having learned that the Jews wanted to leave Egypt, the enraged Pharaoh, at the head of six hundred military chariots, rushed in pursuit of the fugitives. How horrified the Israelis were when menacing chariots emerged from the cloud of dust! The Jews looked in numbness at the Egyptian soldiers approaching them and complained that they had so frivolously allowed Moses to lead them away from the land of Goshen, where it would have been better to live in slavery than to die now at the hands of their pursuers in the desert. Moses calmed the despairing, assuring that the Lord would not abandon His people in trouble if only they had deep faith in their Creator and Savior. Moses turned to God with a fervent prayer for the salvation of the Jews, and the Lord heard His chosen one. The pillar of cloud that led the Israelites to the Red Sea sank to the ground between Pharaoh's cavalry and the Jews, so that the Egyptians could not get closer to the fugitives. The Jews stopped at the very shore, then their path was blocked by the waters of the Red Sea. By the command of God “... Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea with a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters parted.”(Ex. 14:21). As soon as dry land formed in the middle of the sea, the Israelites hastened to cross to the other side. They were already on the opposite bank when the Egyptian army, led by the pharaoh, rushed after the fugitives. At that moment, when the Egyptians were in the middle of the sea, Moses once again raised his right hand, and at his sign the walls of water collapsed on their pursuers. Thus, miraculously, the Israeli people left the land of slavery forever. The miraculous deliverance from the terrible danger brought the Jews into indescribable delight. This salvation could not be attributed to ourselves; it was, in the proper sense, miraculous, and the people rejoiced, glorifying Jehovah and their valiant leader Moses. The Jews here were once again convinced that the God of their fathers was higher than all the gods of Egypt. From the fullness of their grateful hearts, they sang a song of praise and gratitude to the Lord, their Helper and Patron. When the song ended, the people began to rejoice. Mariam, the worthy sister of the great brothers of the liberators, formed round dances and, with a tympanum in her hands, inspired women to dance, sing and play. It was the happiest day in the history of the chosen people.
The miraculous crossing of the Red Sea is of great importance in the history of the Jewish people: firstly, thanks to this transition, the Israelis finally got rid of Egyptian slavery and became a free nation; secondly, the miracle that happened further strengthened the faith of the Jews in the one true God; thirdly, in the eyes of the Jews, the authority of their leader, Moses, was established. And finally, the miraculous passage of the Jewish people through the Red Sea showed the power of the God of Israel and brought fear and awe to the surrounding pagan peoples.
But this event also has transformative significance. The passage of the Jews through the Red Sea prefigures the New Testament sacrament of Baptism. Just as the people of Israel, miraculously crossing the sea, were delivered from Egyptian slavery, so in the waters of New Testament Baptism a Christian is delivered from slavery to the devil. In addition, in the passage of the Jews through the Red Sea, the Church sees a prototype of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Her Ever-Virginity.

From the author's bookXVII Exodus from Egypt. Crossing the Red Sea The starting point of the movement was Rameses, one of those “reserve cities” that were built by the hard labor of the Israelites. Sensing freedom, the people cheerfully set off on their way. He still had plenty of everything, he had no idea about
Red Sea or Red Sea- euro Yam-Suf.
The Red Sea or Red Sea, through which the Israelites were led by Moses, represents the bay of the Indian Ocean east of Egypt. The Jews called it the Sea of Suf, i.e. The Sea of Reeds, due to the abundant reeds growing along its shores (Ex. 10:19; 13:18; 15:4, 22; Num. 14:25). The ancients called the Red or Red Sea the entire northwestern part of the Indian Ocean (from the eastern cape of Africa to the mouth of the Indus) with its two gulfs - the Arabian and the Persian, which wash the Arabian Peninsula. The Red Sea mentioned in the Bible is a part of the Arabian Sea, which extends from the Strait of Babelmandeb to Suez, and has a length of about 2000 km. At the northern end, this sea is divided into two gulfs: Suez and Aqaba, which is also called the Red Sea in Tsars. 9:26. These gulfs, of which the first is about 250 km long, and the second about 160, wash the Sinai Peninsula, which was the place where the Israelites wandered through the desert and issued the law.
The passage through the Red Sea is narrated in Ex. 14 and is sung in the songs of praise of Moses and the Israelites (Ex. 15:15; Ps. 77; 105; 135). The last Egyptian plague forced the stubborn Pharaoh to release the people of God, and on the 15th day of the first month the people of Israel left Rameses for Succoth in the number of up to six hundred thousand foot men, in addition to women and children (Ex. 12:37). From Ramses they came to Succoth during the night, accompanied by many people of different tribes and very large herds of large and small livestock. Instead of taking the direct route through the land of the Philistines along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea (Exodus 13:17), they moved south and camped in Ephraim, between the Egyptian and Arabian deserts (Exodus 13:20; Num. 33:8) .
Then the Lord commanded Moses to tell the children of Israel that they should turn and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baalzephon (Ex. 14:2). Instead of entering the Arabian Desert between the bitter lakes and the northwestern tip of the Red Sea, Moses turned back towards Egypt, i.e. he moved not in an easterly direction along the right bank of the sea, but along its western shore, towards Pi-Gahirof (perhaps towards the present Ajerud fortress west of Suez). Migdol and Baalzephon were probably located on Mount Attaka, which surrounded the Israelites in front and on the right side, while the sea was on their left and the desert behind them. So, the people of Israel stood here surrounded by desert, mountains and sea, and it is not surprising that they were very afraid when they saw behind them the chariots and horsemen of Pharaoh, with which he, confident of success, intended to bring them back (Ex. 14: 3,10) . Moses tried to pacify the grumbling people, crying out to God with his heart, and received the command to move forward with the people. The Angel of the Lord, together with a pillar of fire, stood behind the people - between the Egyptians and the Israelites, and the pillar of fire was a cloud and darkness for the Egyptians, but for the Israelites it illuminated the road. “Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea with a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land; and the waters parted” (Ex. 14:21). The Israelites walked along the bottom of the sea; the water stood like a wall on the right and left sides. The Egyptians chased them along the bottom of the sea and the Lord drowned them at the time when all the Israelites came to the other side. The Israelites saw the hand of the Lord, feared what they saw and believed the Lord and Moses His servant (Ex. 14:15,30,31).
After crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites, in all likelihood, found themselves in the place that to this day bears the name Ayun Muse, i.e. the springs of Moses, from where they entered the Sur desert. After a three-day journey, they came to Marah, where the bitter water was miraculously made drinkable (Ex. 15:22, 25). Setting out from there, they came to Elim, where there were springs and date trees (Ex. 15:27). After this, on the 15th day of the second month (after the exodus from Egypt) they came to the desert of Sin, between Elim and Sinai (Ex. 16:1). According to Numbers 33:10 They had previously encamped by the Red Sea. Here they last saw the Red Sea and the shores of the land of slavery. From the desert of Sin, the Israelites continued their journey, with short stops in Dophka and Alush, and settled in Rephidim (Ex. 17:1; Comp. Num. 33:12 et al.). From Rephidim they came to the Sinai desert in the third month after leaving Egypt and camped opposite the mountain of the Lord (Ex. 19). Compare "Sinai". Here they remained for about a year, or until the 20th day of the second month of the second year after the exodus from Egypt (Num. 10:11). For the further journey of the Israelites from Sinai to Canaan, see “Wanderings in the Desert.”

Red sea
After the “tenth plague,” Pharaoh’s resistance was broken, and he allowed the Jews to leave the country:
Exodus 12:37. And the children of Israel departed from Rameses to Succoth...
There is no consensus as to where Succoth was located, but many believe that it was located almost next to Pit, and perhaps it was Pit. If so, then the Jews, leaving Egypt, headed to the east.
If they had moved north, they would have reached the coast and followed it to Canaan by the direct and shortest route. However, this path was not safe.
The “Sea Peoples” then captured various areas of the Egyptian kingdom (which can indeed serve as an explanation for the emergence of the dramatic biblical story of the “Egyptian plagues”) and strengthened themselves precisely in that part of the Canaanite coast where the Israelites could immediately encounter them on their way.
The newly freed people of Israel were unable to fight, and they would have to face the well-armed, battle-hardened “Sea Peoples” who would soon make their presence known in biblical history as the Philistines.
To bypass this place, the children of Israel moved east, which led them to the Red Sea.
Ex., 13: 17–18… God didn't lead him [the Jewish people] along the road of the land of the Philistines, because it is near; for God said: lest the people repent when they see the war, and return to Egypt. And God led the people along a desert road to the Red Sea...
The Red Sea is a narrow, long bay of the Indian Ocean, stretching from southeast to northwest in an almost straight line about 1,450 miles long. The width of this sea is only from 150 to 200 miles, and its shape suggests that it is part of the Great Rift Valley.
This sea is one of the most specific parts of the ocean. It separates the African and Arabian deserts and, due to the small amount of rain, receives insufficient moisture, while evaporating a lot of water under the influence of the sun, which scorches here so mercilessly as almost nowhere else on the globe. Therefore, the Red Sea is much saltier than any other part of the ocean, although water flows constantly into its southern end, which is open to the ocean. At its sheltered northern tip, the percentage of salt in the water rises to 4.1% - compared to 3.5% for the entire ocean.
The name Red Sea is Greek and during Roman times it extended to that part of the Indian Ocean into which the sea opens and which we now call the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.
Why is this sea called Red? There are a lot of conjectures on this matter. The waters of this sea may take on a red color due to microscopic algae, its shores may be littered with red shells (or red rocks), or a reddish glow may appear on the surface of the waves from the rays of the setting sun (as viewed from Arabia). It is possible that none of these guesses are correct.

From the book Tales and Stories author Kuprin Alexander IvanovichThe Red Porch Sketch for the novel “Junker” It was one of the wonderful sunny, cold days at the end of October 1888. Moscow was waiting for the Tsar and the Royal Family to visit: they would come to worship the ancient Russian shrines, after the train accident at Borki station.
The Jews, upon leaving Egypt, headed to the Red or Red Sea. The Egyptians, having buried their dead firstborns, began to regret that they had let the Jews go. Pharaoh, having gathered an army with chariots and horsemen, set off in pursuit of the Jews. He caught up with them at the seashore. Seeing the formidable hordes of Pharaoh behind them, the Jews were horrified. Instead of asking God for help, they began to grumble at Moses for leading them out of Egypt. Encouraging them, Moses prayed to God in his soul. The Lord heard his prayer. A pillar of cloud stood behind the Jews and hid them from the Egyptians. The Lord said to Moses: “Take your rod, stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it.” Moses stretched out his hand with the rod to the sea. And the Lord raised a strong east wind all night, and the waters parted. And the Jews walked along the dry bottom, but the water was a wall to them on the right and on the left. Hearing movement in the Jewish camp, the Egyptians chased the Jews along the bottom of the sea and had already reached the middle of the sea. At this time, the Jews came to the other side. Moses again, at the command of God, stretched out his hand with a rod over the sea. The sea water poured out and covered the chariots and horsemen of the entire army of Pharaoh, and drowned the Egyptians.
Then the people of Israel (the Jews), with great joy, sang a song of thanksgiving To the Lord God, your Helper and Patron.
Mariam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the tympanum in her hands, and all the women followed her with timbrels and rejoicing. And Miriam sang before them: “Sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; He cast horse and rider into the sea.”
Jewish crossing of the Red Sea, whose waters separated and delivered the Jews from the wickedness and slavery of Egypt, prefigured baptism, through which we are freed from the power of the devil and slavery to sin.
During the journey of the Jews from Egypt to the Promised Land, the Lord performed many other miracles. One day the Jews came to a place where the water was bitter. They could not drink it and grumbled against Moses. The Lord pointed Moses to a tree. As soon as he put it in the water, the water became sweet.
This tree, which took away the bitterness from the water, was a prototype of the Cross of the Tree of Christ, taking away the bitterness of life - sin.
When the Jews ran out of all the bread taken from Egypt, the Lord sent them bread from heaven - manna. It looked like small white grains, or small hail, and tasted like bread with honey. Name manna I received this bread because when the Jews saw it for the first time, they asked each other: man-gu(what is this?), Moses replied: “This is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.” The Jews called this bread manna. Manna covered the land around the Jewish camp in the morning throughout their journey, every day except the Sabbath.
And when the Jews in the desert came to a place called Rephidim, where there was no water at all, they again began to grumble against Moses. At the command of God, Moses struck the rock with his rod, and water flowed out of it.
Manna in the desert and water, which flowed from the stone rock, saving the Israelites from death, prefigured the true for us food And drinking, that is Body And Blood of Christ which the Lord gives us in holy communion, saving us from eternal death.
In Rephidim, the Jews were attacked by the desert inhabitants, the Amalekites. Moses sent Joshua with an army against them, and he himself, with his brother Aaron and Hor, climbed the nearest mountain and began to pray, raising both hands to the sky (forming a cross).
Aaron noticed that when Moses held his hands up, the Jews defeated their enemies, and when he lowered them from fatigue, then the Amalekites defeated the Jews. Therefore, Aaron and Hur sat Moses on a stone, and held his hands outstretched. And the Jews defeated the Amalekites.
Moses, praying with his hands raised, prefigured the victorious cross of Christ, by the power of which Christian believers now defeat visible and invisible enemies.
In Rephidim, his father-in-law Jethro visited Moses and brought his wife and sons to him.
