It is often associated with the "Sea of Reeds" or "Red Sea" (Yam Suph), a significant body of water in the biblical narrative of the Exodus. The term can also imply an end or conclusion, reflecting its root meaning.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, reeds were a common feature of the landscape, especially in Egypt and Mesopotamia. They were used for various purposes, including making papyrus, baskets, and other everyday items. The "Sea of Reeds" is traditionally identified with the body of water that the Israelites crossed during their escape from Egypt, a pivotal event in Jewish history. This crossing is celebrated during the Jewish festival of Passover.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span
