Akin For The Truth

A well known trade route that travels from northern Egypt southward along the Suez east coastline, then, just as Moses had when fleeing to Midian 40 years earlier, sharply turning northeastward through the mountains and onto the desert plains, a flat and compacted route well suited for travel as it skirted along north of the Sinai’s rugged mountain ranges, is the only route that remains.   It is estimated that, since Scripture states that the Israelites traveled towards the city day and night (guided and covered by day by a cloud and lit and led by a fire at night), that they could have made this journey in less than the three weeks granted by Scripture.   Exodus 14:2 tells us “And the Lord spoke to Moses saying “Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth between Migdol and the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, “They are wandering aimlessly in the land, the wilderness has shut them in”.”
