Rameses
Opis
Rameses
"zemlja" (Post 47:11 ), vjerojatno je bila "zemlja Gošen" (usp. Post 45:10 ). Nakon što su Hebreji izgradili Rameses, jedan od "gradova riznice," postao je poznat kao "zemlja" u kojoj je taj grad bio izgrađen. Grad koji nosi ovo ime (Izl 12:37 ) vjerojatno je bio identičan s Soanom, koji je Rameses II. ("sin sunca") obnovio. Postao je njegova posebna rezidencija i po važnosti i veličanstvenosti bio je odmah iza Tebe. Ogromne mase opeka, izrađene od mulja Nila, sušene na suncu, neke od njih pomiješane sa slamom, moguće oblikovane židovskim rukama, i dalje obilježavaju mjesto Ramesesa. Ovo je bilo opće okupljalište Izraelaca prije nego što su započeli svoj marš iz Egipta. Nazivan je i Raamses (Izl 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).
