BAAL-ZEPHON

Area opposite the Israelites’ encampment just before they crossed the Red Sea (Ex 14:2, 9; Nm 33:7). The exact location of Baal-zephon is unknown but probably was in northeast Egypt. The name means “lord of the north,” and a shrine to a Semitic deity was presumably located there. The god Baal-zephon is mentioned in Ugaritic, Egyptian, and Phoenician writings as a sea and storm god.
