Red Sea crossing

The Bible does not say exactly how long it took the Hebrews to cross the Red Sea.

Moses was leading the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. In Exodus 14:2 the Lord instructed Moses to lead them to a place called Pi-hahiroth (meaning mouth of the gorges) and Migdol on the other side (Canaanite word for watchtower) with The Red Sea behind them. So, God put the children of Israel in this place so everyone could see Him at work. There were around two million Israelites maybe more. These were men, women, and children and all their livestock.

 There are several possible bodies of water near Egypt that the Israelites could have crossed. Some scholars point to the Gulf of Suez or the Gulf of Aqaba (both are extensions of the Red Sea) as possible crossing sites. Moving north of the Gulf of Suez is the Bitter Lakes region, and north of that is Lake Timsah. Other scholars have suggested a body of water in the Nile Delta region. The Gulf of Aqaba seems to be the best possible place for them to cross according to some of the scholars. The Straits of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqaba is 18 kilometers (11 miles) long and eight hundred meters wide ( approximately 2,625 ft.). If they walked across 200 abrest that would be a line of people several miles long. So all I can do is give you a guess If they were moving at 3 mph it would probably have taken them between 6-8 hours.

All this stuff I have told you is only an estimate. The place of the crossing as well as the math could be all wrong. The truth of the matter is nobody knows for sure but God.
