suf' uh) Apparently a place name perhaps meaning, “toward the reeds.” The Hebrew text of Numbers 21:14 has no verb and has been translated and emended in many ways to achieve one. Compare translations. KJV created, “Yam-Suph,” or “Red Sea.” Others find a compound place name, “Waheb in Suphah,” indicating two locations in Moab.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]
Suphah . An unknown locality E. of Jordan ( Numbers 21:14 ).
Easton's Bible Dictionary [3]
Numbers 21:14
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [4]
sōō´fa ( סוּפה , sūphāh , for בּסוּפה והב , wāhēbh beṣūphāh ; Septuagint reads τῆν Ζωὼβ ἐθλόγισε , tḗn Zōṓb ephlógise ; the King James Version Rea Sea ): Suphah is the region in which Vaheb is situated ( Numbers 21:14 ). It is probably identical with Suph of Deuteronomy 1:1 . Tristram ( Land of Moab , 50 f) suggested identification with Ghōr eṣ - Ṣāfiyeh , a small oasis East of the mud fiats of Eṣ - Sebkhah , South of the Dead Sea; but "the sibilants do not correspond, and Ṣāfiyeh is a specifically Arabic term (Wetzstein in Delitzsch, Gen4 , 586, note 2) which does not seem to be a likely explanation of Suphah" (Gray, "Nu," ICC , 285 f). This, and other questions of identification, must wait for solution until a more thorough exploration of the whole district has been accomplished.
