Red Sea

Between Egypt and Arabia. Probably best known because it was miraculously parted so that the Israelites under Moses’ leadership could pass through on dry ground, whereas the armies of Pharaoh were drowned (Ex. 13:18; 14:15–31; Acts 7:36; Heb. 11:29). The parting of the sea by Moses is confirmed in latter-day revelation in 1 Ne. 4:2; 17:26–27; Hel. 8:11; Moses 1:25. Solomon had a fleet on the Red Sea (1 Kgs. 9:26).
