Commentary
Commentary on Exodus 10:19
Theological / DevotionalA mighty strong west wind. Literally, “a sea wind,” indicating that it came from the Mediterranean. Since it carried the locusts into the Red Sea, it must have come from the northwest. Inasmuch as the Mediterranean Sea lay to the west of Palestine, the Hebrew people commonly used “the sea” as a synonym for “west.”
The Red sea. Literally, “Sea of Reeds.” It is not certain why it should have had this name, since there are no reeds there today, nor is there any indication that there were in ancient times. However, the evidence of numerous Bible texts (see Ex. 15:4; 23:31; Num. 21:4; etc.) makes it rather certain that the Sea of Reeds was actually the Red Sea, and not one of the Bitter Lakes in the region of the Suez Canal, as some commentators have maintained.
