The Red Sea (Yam Suf in Hebrew) — often mistranslated as the Reed Sea — is located along Egypt's eastern border. In the book of Exodus, when the Israelites flee slavery in Egypt, the Red Sea stands between them and their freedom. God miraculously splits the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to pass through. The Egyptians though pursued the Israelites into the Red Sea, wherein they drowned.
