    Description

    Suph in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Suph is mentioned in Deu.1.1 as one of the places near the wilderness where Moses spoke to the Israelites. The exact location of Suph is uncertain, but it is listed along with other places such as Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. These locations are described as being situated "between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab" (Deut. 1:1), suggesting that Suph was located somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula or the Negev Desert. Some scholars propose that Suph may be related to the Red Sea (Yam Suph), but this connection remains uncertain.

    The pattern

    Where Suph is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Suph is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
