Shur (Bible)

Shur (Hebrew: שור, romanized: Šūr, sometimes rendered in translations as Sur) is a location mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible.

James K. Hoffmeier believes that the 'way of Shur' was located along the Wadi Tumilat — an arable strip of land to the east of the Nile Delta, serving as the ancient transit route between Ancient Egypt and Canaan across the Sinai Peninsula.
