Informace ze slovníku
(= božstvo slunce; Re zplodil jej), město a kraj v Dolním Egyptě, kde Josef usídlil svého otce a bratry, část krajiny Gesen [Gn 47,11 ]. V [Ex 1,11 ] mluví se o jiném R. jako o skladištním městě, patrně k účelům vojenským. Při odchodu Izraelců z Egypta je toto město prvním jejich shromaždištěm [Ex 12,37 ; Nu 33,3 ; Nu 33,5 ]. Leželo j. od Soan. Je to snad dnešní Tell Rotab, kde byly nalezeny památky z doby Ramsa II. *Egypt 5.

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 ).
