THE RED SEA MIRACLE, is the first in a two-part film series by Patterns of Evidence’s award-winning filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney. In this investigation he examines the journey to the crossing location, looking at two competing views of the Red Sea Miracle. One he calls the “Egyptian Approach,” which looks near Egypt. The other he calls the “Hebrew Approach,” which looks far from Egypt to the Gulf of Aqaba where divers have been searching for the remains of Pharaoh’s army on the seafloor. The investigation raises giant questions about the real location for the crossing site and its implications on your view of God. The answers to these questions point to one of two very different realities.
Even among those who believe that the Exodus happened, there are many opposing views represented. Mahoney shares an important message about the importance of hearing from all sides.
Two very different approaches are often used when determining how the Exodus events happened and what route was taken by Moses and the Israelites. Tim and Steve discuss some of the contrary perspectives between the Egyptian and the Hebrew views.

Does the biblical information favor total numbers of 20 thousand Israelites or 2 million? This question is a complicated piece of the Exodus journey. Go deeper into the arguments for the two main views that debate the true size of Israel’s population.
A common argument against the Israelite population reaching millions by the Exodus is that they did not have enough time in Egypt to make that feasible. Could they have gotten to millions within 4 centuries - what about in 2 centuries or in 4 generations?
If the Israelite population continued to multiply at the same rate that led to millions while in Egypt, what would happen in future generations? Would these ballooning numbers be a valid reason to reject the idea of millions by the time of the Exodus?
Before the Conquest the Bible says that the Israelite population was smaller than the nations that lived in Canaan. How many people lived in Canaan at the time, and what does this mean for the idea that there were millions of Israelites?
If there were really 3 million or more Israelites by the time of the Exodus, the size of their population may have rivaled that of Egypt. See the opposing arguments for why that would - or would not - be believable and fit the Bible’s descriptions.
The many years Moses spent in Egypt and in Midian trained him in unique ways to lead the Exodus. t a shepherd prepared Moses to lead multitudes and their flocks out into the wilderness.
Many claim that the only evidence for the biblical Moses and his writings is from the Bible itself. However, there may be another source of information with ancient roots that comes from an intriguing location. • Evidence of Moses from Outside the Bible • Biblical Patterns in Sudan • Connections to the Exodus Account
Some view the miracles of Exodus, such as the plagues, as God only working through natural means in ways that have been seen before. However, others think that many were so spectacular they could only be explained as acts of God. • A Cosmic Confrontation Between God and Egypt • The Egyptian View’s Naturalistic Approach to the Plagues • The Hebrew View’s Spectacular Approach to the Plagues • Could a Volcano Have Caused Some of the Plagues?
Rabbi Manis Friedman gives his insights to the Departure step of the Israelites from Egypt. Did Pharaoh just let them go, or did he command them to leave at once, thrusting them out of his country?
What was the nature of the Israelites’ Departure from Egypt? Were they a disorganized mob with little hope of traveling very fast or far? Or were they organized and sent out in haste? See the biblical clues.
• Midian as a Clue to the Direction of the Exodus • The Egyptian Approach to Midian • The Hebrew Approach to Midian What was the initial Direction of the Exodus journey? The Israelites were initially headed to Mount Sinai, which many believe was in or very near the land of Midian, where Moses had spent 40 years of exile. But where was Midian?
The way of the land of the Philistines is one of the few Exodus locations known with certainty. The Bible clearly states that the Israelites did not go this way; however, there is disagreement about whether or not the Israelites really traveled in this direction.
See the original song written by filmmaker Timothy Mahoney. Sung by a bluegrass band at a family reunion picnic, the story retells the biblical account of the way the Israelites took out of Egypt and how that relates to life today.
The way of the Philistines tends to get much attention in the Exodus debate, while the way of the wilderness of Yam Suph is sometimes ignored. Yet this is one of the few places the Bible mentions between Egypt and the sea. Where was this road?
Filmmaker Timothy Mahoney and researcher Steven Law dig deeper into the various views for the way of the wilderness of Yam Suph. Which route seems to fit the biblical information best?
Which wilderness did Moses and the Israelites cross before being trapped at the sea? Were biblical wildernesses always deserts? Go deeper into the debate between the two views on the size of the Exodus wilderness.
Determining the Exodus route to the sea is all about time and distance. Was the sea reached in just 3 days or was it more than 3 weeks? Explore biblical clues to how many days it took the Israelites to cross the wilderness before they reached the sea.
In the Bible, God commands Moses to record a list of the stops during the Exodus journey. The first 2 camps on this list are seen very differently by the Egyptian and Hebrew approaches. Were these camps inside Egypt or out in the wilderness? • The Egyptian Approach to the First Campsites • The Hebrew Approach to the First Campsites • The Second Campsite of Etham
One factor determining the speed at which Moses and the Israelites could have traveled was the capabilities of the animals with them. How far can sheep go? Was there enough water for them all? And could some animals actually help them travel faster?
Was there water in the Sinai to sustain the Israelites’ journey? Tim Mahoney and Steve Law discuss the variables before Tim gives a behind-the-scenes account of the rainstorm he encountered in the Sinai region.
How much ground could the Israelites cover in a day and therefore what size wilderness might have been crossed in the time allowed? Tim Mahoney and Steve Law discuss the various opinions in the Egyptian and Hebrew approaches.
The main travel route options are explored while considering how far the Israelites might have traveled in 24 hours. What were the upper limits of the armies? And could Pharaoh’s chariots realistically have crossed the Sinai Peninsula?
