Strong's Lexicon suph: Reed, rush, end Original Word: סוּף Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to come to an end Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2421 (Ἰόππη, Ioppē): Joppa, a seaport town in the New Testament, though not directly related to "suph," is a coastal location where reeds might be found. - G2564 (καλέω, kaleō): To call, invite, or summon, metaphorically related to the idea of reaching an end or conclusion. Usage: The Hebrew word "suph" primarily refers to a type of plant, specifically reeds or rushes, which are commonly found in marshy or aquatic environments. It is often associated with the Red Sea, known in Hebrew as "Yam Suph," which translates to "Sea of Reeds." The term can also metaphorically signify an end or conclusion, drawing from its root meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, reeds and rushes were significant for their practical uses, including making baskets, mats, and writing materials like papyrus. The association of "suph" with the Red Sea is particularly notable in the context of the Exodus narrative, where the Israelites crossed the sea to escape from Egypt. This event is a pivotal moment in Jewish history and is celebrated during the festival of Passover.
