In the Bible, Jesus's people are being held captive by the Egyptians. They are held in a desolate area that is dry and sandy. They lived in close quarters and where not allowed the space they needed. The Red Sea held them captive so to speak in the land of Egypt. After they are rescued by Moses they are brought to the promised land that is spacious, lush and fertile. The promise land is geographically north of Egypt; this is significant because Jesus tells Moses, "So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that..." in Exodus 3:8.
