The Red Sea is the body of water between Egypt and Arabia through which Israel crossed on dry ground during the exodus, while the pursuing Egyptian army was destroyed when the waters returned (Exod. 14-15). No Egyptian record of the crossing survives, but the event became Israel's founding national memory, recalled repeatedly in later Scripture (Neh. 9:9-11; Ps. 106:7-9; Acts 7:36).
