Where is Red_Sea in the Bible?

The Red Sea is the body of water located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, separating Egypt from the Sinai Peninsula and Arabia. In the Bible, it is most famous as the site of the miraculous crossing by the Israelites as they escaped slavery in Egypt, an event recorded in Exodus 13:18 and Exodus 15:4. According to the biblical account, God parted the waters of the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to pass through on dry ground, then closed the waters to destroy the pursuing Egyptian army. This crossing became a foundational act of deliverance in Israelite history and theology, symbolizing God's power to save his people and his faithfulness to his covenant promises. The Red Sea also appears throughout the books of Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua as the Israelites traveled through the wilderness toward the Promised Land.
