(Κλῦσμα ), the name given by Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. Βεελσεφών ) to the head of the Heroopolitan or western gulf of the Red Sea, through which the Israelites passed on dry land; according to Philostorgius (Hist. Ecclesiastes 3, 5), from a town of that name (comp. Epiphanius, adv. Haer. 2, p. 618), apparently corresponding nearly to the modern site of Suez (Reland, Palaest. p. 471), a little to the north of which are some mounds still known by the Arabs as Tell Kolzum (Wilson, Lands of Bible, 1, 137). (See EXODE).
