what you quote below this is Genesis 13:14-17. Exodus 13:14-17 is something TOTALLY different.

I only mentioned the verse in Exodus as an example to Solarus about the anachronisms present in certain translations. It didn't have anything to do with anything you had previously said.

But either way, we were talking about Egypt & the Exodus, right? Where does Genesis come in?

again, this is GENESIS 13:14-17. But mine says the same.

My Exodus 15:4 mentions the "Sea of Reeds" again: "Pharaoh's chariots and army he has hurled into the sea; the pick of his officers have been drowned in the Sea of Reeds..."

I'm not saying the "Sea of Reeds" ISN'T the Red Sea (I haven't done the geographical homework to prove/disprove otherwise), but I'm sure they would have stated as much in the other notes. Apparently, it's unclear what the "Sea of Reeds" is. Considering the time period, it could have been a body of water that has long since dried up.
