Yam Suph (ים סוף in Hebrew, meaning "Sea of Reeds") is generally identified with the Red Sea.

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Israelites crossed over from Egypt proper to the Sinai Peninsula. The sea was split by God, Moses led the Israelites from one shore to the other on the newly exposed, dry seafloor. After the Israelites had finished crossing, God brought the waters down on the pursuing Egyptian soldiers, causing them to drown.
