VERSE 1
- the Lord spake.
* Ex 12:1; 13:1
VERSE 2
- that they.
* :9; 13:17,18 Nu 33:7,8
- Pi-hahiroth.
{Pi-hachiroth,} "the mouth of Chiroth," as it is rendered by
the LXX. Dr. Shaw is of opinion, that Chiroth denotes the
valley which extends from the wilderness of Etham to the Red
Sea. "This valley," he observes, "ends at the sea in a small
bay made by the eastern extremities of the mountains (of
Gewoubee and Attackah, between which the valley lies) which I
have been describing, and is called Tiah-Beni-Israel, i.e.,
the road of the Israelites, by a tradition that is still kept
up by the Arabs, of their having passed through it; so it is
also called Baideah, from the new and unheard of miracle that
was wrought near it, by dividing the Red sea, and destroying
therein Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."
- Migdol.
The word {Migdol} signifies a tower, and hence some have
supposed that it was a fortress which served to defend the
bay. But the LXX. render it [ ,] Magdolus, which is
mentioned by Herodotus, Hecat'us, and others, and is
expressly said by Stephanus (de Urb.) to be [ ,]
"a city of Egypt." This Bochart conjectures to have been the
same as Migdol. See the Parallel Passages.
* Jer 44:1; 46:14 Eze 29:10
- Heb. Baal-zephon.
This may have been the name of a town or city in which Baal
was worshipped; and probably called {zephon,} from being
situated on the north point of the Red sea, near the present
Suez.
VERSE 3
- Pharaoh.
* Ex 7:3,4 De 31:21 Ps 139:2,4 Eze 38:10,11,17 Ac 4:28

* :21,26; 4:2,17,20; 7:9,19
- the sea.
This sea was what is called in Scripture {yam suph,} "the sea
of weeds;" so called, according to Mr. Bruce, from the vast
quantity of coral which grows in it. In the LXX. it is
called [ ,] and by the Latins {Rubrum mare,}
and we from them the Red Sea; so called it is supposed, from
{Edom} (red) or Esau, whose territories extend to its coasts.
It separates Arabia from Egypt and Ethiopia, and is computed
to be 150 leagues in length from Suez to the straits of
Babelmandel. The upper part is divided into two gulfs, that
to the East called the Elanitic, from the city Elana at the
northern extremity, and that to the west, the Heroopolitic,
from the city of Heroopolis. The former is called by the
Arabians Bahr el Akaba, the sea of Akaba; and the latter Bahr
el Kolzum, the sea of destruction, or Clysm'; which was that
which the Israelites passed.

* :29; 15:19 Nu 33:8 Ps 66:6; 78:13 Isa 63:13 1Co 10:1 Heb 11:29
- and the waters.
This verse demonstrates that this event was wholly
miraculous, and cannot be ascribed, as some have supposed, to
an extraordinary ebb, which happened just then to be produced
by a strong east wind: for this would not have caused the
waters, contrary to every law of fluids, to stand as a wall
on the right hand and the left.
