Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pi-ha-Chiroth, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the concept of the Exodus and the crossing of the Red Sea is referenced in the New Testament, such as in Hebrews 11:29, which speaks of the faith of the Israelites in crossing the sea.

Usage: Pi-ha-Chiroth is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a location where the Israelites encamped during the Exodus from Egypt.

Context: Pi-ha-Chiroth is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey out of Egypt. It is one of the locations where the Israelites camped before crossing the Red Sea. The site is described in Exodus 14:2, where God instructs Moses to have the Israelites encamp by the sea, opposite Baal-zephon, between Migdol and the sea. This strategic location played a significant role in the narrative of the Exodus, as it was here that Pharaoh's army overtook the Israelites, leading to the miraculous parting of the Red Sea. The exact geographical location of Pi-ha-Chiroth remains uncertain, with various theories suggesting it could be near the modern-day Suez Canal or other locations in the northeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula. The name itself suggests a place characterized by natural features such as gorges or canals, which would have been significant in the topography of the region.
