ISRA-ii-SSR1-80 Bricks made of mud and straw
Exodus 1:14 and 5:7-23 -
This is not an ancient brick wall, but it does show how the same techniques
for making brick are used today
as they did when the Israelites were making bricks for Pharoh.

I Samuel 30:9, 10, 21 -
Where David let 200 of his exhausted men stay behind with their baggage

Numbers 20:22-29; 33:38-39,

ISRA-ii-SSR1-88 Wadi Zin - 1
The ribbon of green is Wadi
Zin. There is no water in most of it, but the gully allows enough moisture to
collect so that some desert plants can grow in the wadi.

In the gorge at the far
end of Wadi Zin, there was a trickle of water, turned green by the minerals
and algae.
ISRA-ii-SSR2-120 Solomon's Pillars
Timnah Valley
ISRA-ii-SSR1-91 Mountains near Eilat - 1
The Gulf of Aqaba is not
the "finger" of the Red Sea where the Israelites miraculously crossed.
However, looking at the rugged terrain here certainly gives you a better idea
of the predicament they were in when they had mountains on both sides, the Red
Sea in front of them, and the Egyptian army closing in behind them. If the mountains
in the biblical text were anything like these, then climbing over the mountains
to escape the army was obviously not an option!
ISRA-ii-SSR1-92 Mountains near Eilat - 2
In the haze behind the mountain
ridge at the right is the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat.
ISRA-ii-SSR1-93 Gulf of Aqaba
Aqaba is a city on the Jordanian
side; it is also called Gulf of Eilat, after the city on the Israel side.

was the southern border of the Land, but today, the actual site is within Egypt's
borders.
Numbers 20:2-13 - At Kadesh-barnea, Moses sinned by striking the rock for water
instead of speaking to the rock as God commanded.
Joshua 14:6-7 - The 12 spies had been sent out from Kadesh-barnea.
