It makes sense that the Israelites integrated the Egyptian language with their speech since they lived there for 400 years and were forced into labour and taking orders. The Bible tells us that they even served gods of Egypt (Joshua24:14). Evidence of this example today is colonialism, where countries who been colonised by others integrate their language into their own.
Therefore, if reeds is an Egyptian term that means plants by the water, then it’s the correct translation of yam suph. The Hebrew meaning for suph which means end. The origin most probably refers to the Exodus which was the ending of slavery, once they crossed the sea. The Exodus was a life changing event and they probably used the word reed to mark as remembrance because Elohim told them to never forget it and pass it this down to the next generations. We know that Israelites didn’t do this and this is probably why the Hebrew word for suph means end and most people have no idea why.
Also, in the Old Testament, there is no word for lake because there was no distinction between lake and sea back then. In Genesis, Elohim called the collection of waters ‘seas’ (Genesis 1:10). This is means it’s very possible that the Israelites crossed a lake which they called sea back then.
Thank you Holy Spirit for the revelation. Jesus bless you all.
