What is Pihahiroth?
PIHAHI'ROTH
(mouth, or entrance of caverns, or place of reservoirs), the last place where the Israelites encamped before crossing the Red Sea. Ex 14:2, Gal 1:9; Num 33:7-8. Robinson identifies it with Ajrud, 12 miles from Suez, now a watering-place for caravans, and is approved by Lepsius. In a curious papyrus deciphered by Chabas it is said that Pehir (which seems to be the same as Pihahiroth) was the place from which King Rameses was supplied with garlands of beautiful flowers. Stanley says that there is now no appearance of verdure there.
