"Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea" (Exodus 14:2)., Pi-Hahiroth is between this point and the Sea and Baal-zephon near the opposite eastern shore. This puts Pi-Hahiroth at some point along the old shore line of the Sea within 10 miles of the site of modern Suez., The Mekilta (Beshallaḥ, Wayeḥi, 1) identifies the place with Pithom, which was called Pi-hahiroth (= "the mouth of freedom") after the Israelites had been freed from bondage, the place itself being specified as a valley between two high rocks., Pi Hahiroth is a location mentioned in the Bible, specifically in Exodus 14:2, as part of the route taken by the Israelites during their escape from Egypt. Its name means “the mouth of the gorges,” and it is noted for being near the Red Sea, where the Israelites faced the pursuing Egyptian army., Pi Hahiroth is a location mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Book of Exodus. The name "Pi Hahiroth" is often understood to mean "the mouth of the gorges" or "the opening of the canal," reflecting its geographical features., Its identification is dependent upon one’s general interpretation of the route of the Exodus (q.v.). One view would identify the Sea of Reeds with Lake Sirbonis and place Pi-hahiroth near the Mediterranean Sea on Lake Sirbonis..
