At this point in our ongoing discussion we find the Israelites hemmed in by the mountains on the west, rough terrain on the north and south, and the Gulf of Aqaba Red Sea extension on the east, encamped on the vast Nuweiba beachhead, with no where to go, except to return via the wadi from which they came. So now we look at Exodus 14:9, where it is recorded “Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth.” It is recorded thusly that the Egyptians, upon overtaking the Israelites “seized on the passages by which they imagined the Hebrews might fly, shutting them up between inaccessible precipices and the sea; for there was on each side a ridge of mountains that terminated at the sea, which were impassible by reason of their roughness, and obstructed their flight; wherefore they pressed upon the Hebrews with their army…” Moses didn’t know what to do.
