     * the sea.
       This sea was what is called in Scripture {yam suph,} "the sea
       of weeds;" so called, according to Mr. Bruce, from the vast
       quantity of coral which grows in it.  In the LXX. it is called
       [thalassa erythra,] and by the Latins {Rubrum mare,} and we
       from them the Red Sea; so called it is supposed, from {Edom}
       (red) or Esau, whose territories extend to its coasts.  It
       separates Arabia from Egypt and Ethiopia, and is computed to
       be 150; leagues in length from Suez to the straits of
       Babelmandel.  The upper part is divided into two gulfs, that
       to the East called the Elanitic, from the city Elana at the
       northern extremity, and that to the west, the Heroopolitic,
       from the city of Heroopolis.  The former is called by the
       Arabians Bahr el Akaba, the sea of Akaba; and the latter Bahr
       el Kolzum, the sea of destruction, or Clysm(913b) which was that
       which the Israelites passed.
