Yam Suf (Hebrew: יַם-סוּף) is a phrase which occurs about 23 times in the Tanakh and has traditionally been understood to refer to the salt water inlet located between Africa and the Arabian peninsula known in English as the Red Sea. More recently, the term have been proposed for those passages where it refers to the Israelite Crossing of the Sea as told in Shemot 13-15. These proposals would mean that Yam Suph is better translated in these passages as Sea of Reeds or Sea of Seaweed.
