The crossing of the RED SEA is one of the greatest miracles of the BIBLE. Today, widely different ideas are proposed for the location and scale of the journey out of Egypt and across the sea. This debate brings up questions such as how far and fast were the Israelites capable of traveling, does the biblical text really describe a mighty sea being split, and what kind of miracles would be required at the various sites proposed? Is the standard view ignoring important biblical information about God's involvement? A patterns approach points to a biblical miracle that was awesome beyond imagination.

In this presentation, Steve Law of "Patterns of Evidence" team discusses points raised in "The Red Sea Miracle" film, using what is termed "Egyptian vs Hebrew" approach and following the five main steps of Israel's journey to the Red Sea crossing, including:
1. Departure Point
2. Direction
3. Desert
4. Detour to a Dead End
5. Deep Sea

This includes addressing questions such as:
- Which Sea was crossed?
- How many Israelites?
- Can you get to almost million males in the years in Egypt?
- Which desert / wilderness was crossed?
- How many days does it take to cross the desert?
- What do other historians, like Josephus, say?
- What about Egyptian toponyms?
- Was the sea shallow or deep?

Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle" is a 2020 documentary film in two parts, directed by Tim Mahoney and sequel to "Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy" and "Patterns of Evidence: Exodus". It explores the viewpoints of modern-day scholarship regarding the parting of the Red Sea in the Book of Exodus. Based on his interviews with numerous scholars, egyptologists and religious thinkers (including Barry J. Beitzel, Manfred Bietak, Hershel Shanks, Manis Friedman, Colin Humphreys, David Rohl, Duane Garrett, James Hoffmeier, Donald Redford, Jason Derouchie, Glen Fritz and others). Tim Mahoney presents two models of thought for the event: the "Egyptian model" (smaller scale) and the "Hebrew model" (larger scale).

We thank Tim Mahoney, Steven Law and the Patterns of Evidence team for the years of work, research and production of the film series and supporting content.
We look forward to the next films in the series focusing on the journey towards Mount Sinai, the wonderings in the wilderness, and entering the promised land.
