SUPH . A place-name in Deuteronomy 1:1 ‘In the Arabah over against Suph’; AV [Note: Authorized Version.] reads ‘over against the Red Sea,’ in which case it has been assumed that the word for ‘Sea’ had fallen out in the received Hebrew text. Suph means ‘weeds,’ and the ‘Sea of Weeds’ was the Hebrew name of the Red Sea. The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is almost certainly correct; the expression was so understood also by LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Vulgate. It is evident that by the ‘Red Sea’ the Gulf of ‘Akabah is meant, as in Numbers 21:4 and elsewhere.
