Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to come to an end.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2564: καλέω (kaleō) • to call, to name Usage: The term "סוּף" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote reeds, often in the context of the "Sea of Reeds" (commonly translated as the Red Sea), which is a significant geographical and historical location in the biblical narrative. Context: The Hebrew word "סוּף" (Suph) is primarily associated with the "Sea of Reeds," a body of water that the Israelites famously crossed during the Exodus from Egypt. This crossing is a pivotal event in the biblical narrative, symbolizing deliverance and divine intervention. The term "סוּף" is often translated as "reed" or "rush," indicating the type of vegetation that would have been prevalent in the marshy areas surrounding this body of water. The Sea of Reeds is mentioned in several key passages, including Exodus 10:19, where it is described as the location where the LORD drove the locusts into the Red Sea, and Exodus 13:18, which states, "So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the Israelites left the land of Egypt arrayed for battle." The term is also used in other contexts to describe the natural environment of the region, emphasizing the presence of reeds and rushes in the landscape.
