The memorable spot where the Lord displayed his grace to Israel. (Exodus 14:2) The word is compounded of Pe, mouth, Kirath, a noramen or opening. And it was the opening, of the Red Sea. At this place the Egyptians had a migdol or tower, and one of their dunghill gods, called Baal-Zephon, had a temple here, as if to watch that no runaway servant or slave might escape from Egypt; at least, it was intended to act as a bugbear to deliver the fugitive. What a contempt did the Lord throw upon the idols of Egypt, in making this the memorable spot to deliver Israel. See Baal-Zephon
