Was this fact or Fiction? They left Rameses and assembled in Succoth, which was very near, but at the same time, outside the boundary of Egypt. “The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.” (Exodus 12:37) Succoth had to be a place large enough to hold over two million people a place is mentioned in the Bible called “Tharu” which fits the description of Succoth perfectly according to Adolf Erman in his writings “Life In Ancient Egypt.”
So how did Moses have all this knowledge? Moses as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter was heir to the throne of Egypt. As such he was the “Crown Prince.” According to Egyptian history, a person in line for the throne was given very exact training. Pharaoh was considered the “earthly embodiment of the god” so the “Pharaoh in training” was diligently studying the priesthood, “And Moses was learned is ALL THE WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS and was mighty in words and in deeds.” (Acts 7:22) God knew what Moses faced so He saw to it the Moses was instructed properly.
Adolf Erman mentioned that they were convinced from their studies the actual crossing was at the Gulf of Aqaba. His team went diving there and found chariot wheels, other parts of chariots and various items that convinced them this was the place.
Mankind is always trying to disprove the things of God, “the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” (1 Corinthians 1:25)
