Raämses
Beskrywing
Rameses
"die land van" ([Gen 47:11 ]), was waarskynlik "die land van Gosen" (sien [Gen 45:10 ]). Nadat die Hebreërs Rameses, een van die "skatstede," gebou het, het dit bekend geword as die "land" waarin daardie stad gebou is. Die stad met hierdie naam ([Eks 12:37 ]) was waarskynlik identies aan Soan, wat Rameses II. ("seun van die son") herbou het. Dit het sy spesiale verblyf geword en was naas Thebe in belangrikheid en prag. Groot massas stene, gemaak van Nyl-modder, son-gedroog, sommige gemeng met stoppels, moontlik gevorm deur Joodse hande, merk steeds die terrein van Rameses. Dit was die algemene bymekaarkomplek van die Israeliete voordat hulle hul optog uit Egipte begin het. Ook genoem Raämses ([Eks 1:11 ]).

Rameses
"the land of" (Gen 47:11 ), was probably "the land of Goshen" (q.v.) (Gen 45:10 ). After the Hebrews had built Rameses, one of the "treasure cities," it came to be known as the "land" in which that city was built.
The city bearing this name (Ex 12:37) was probably identical with Zoan, which Rameses II. ("son of the sun") rebuilt. It became his special residence, and ranked next in importance and magnificance to Thebes. Huge masses of bricks, made of Nile mud, sun-dried, some of them mixed with stubble, possibly moulded by Jewish hands, still mark the site of Rameses. This was the general rendezvous of the Israelites before they began their march out of Egypt. Called also Raamses (Ex 1:11).
