Red
Sea or Reed Sea ?
Debbie
Hurn
Page
423
In the
earliest known translation of the Bible, the Septuagint, a
translation by Jewish scholars in Alexandria from Hebrew into Greek
in about 300 B.C., yam suph is consistently represented by Erythra
Thalassa (literally ‘Red Sea’)
Page
424
Through
the subsequent Latin translation known as the Vulgate (by Jerome,
from about A.D. 400) the name ‘Red Sea’ (Mare Rubrum) became
firmly entrenched in Western tradition
Page
424
Origins
of the name
Certainly
the name ‘Red Sea’ is a mysterious one, and there has been
considerable, and conflicting, speculation as to its origin, whether
natural or etymological.
The
earliest European writers proposed a derivation from Edom (which
means ‘red’ in Hebrew)
Page
425
What
does suph mean?
The
word suph first appears in Exodus, translated ‘flags’ (Ex.
2:3,5), in reference to the vegetation that hid baby Moses’ basket
on the Nile river bank - Here it is a Borrowed word, from the
Egyptian twf
every
other time that suph appears in Scripture
it is
the common Hebrew word for ‘end’,
and is
also sometimes translated ‘consume’ or ‘perish’
The
truth may be this,
that
the Red Sea
was
known to the Hebrews as the yam soph
because
they regarded it as the ‘sea at the end of the world’.
Like
other nations, the ancient Israelites did not distinguish the Red Sea
gulf from the great southern ocean that formed the impassable
boundary of the known world.

Yam
Suf
Eilat
(Elath)
red
mountains of Jordan
originally
belonging to the land of Edom (signifying "red")
the
name "Red Sea" goes all the way back to the Greek
Septuagint, who translated Yam Suf as Erythra Thalassa
Since
English only came around centuries later,
the
similarity between "red" and "reed" is only a
coincidence.
Rabbi
Dr. Ari Z. Zivotofsky
shows
how the tradition of using the name "Red Sea" is ancient
and found in many Jewish sources as well.

What’s
the Truth about the Translation of Yam Suf ?
The
modern-day Red Sea predates any English translation of the Bible by
well over a thousand years.
In
fact, it seems that until the late eighteenth century no one
questioned the translation and identification of Yam Suf with the Red
Sea.
Red
Sea is the ancient and preferred translation of Yam Suf.
