Gill's Exposition on Numbers 33:10
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. This encampment, is omitted in the book of Exodus, see Exodus 16:1 this part or arm of the Red sea, whither they came, was six miles from Elim.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 33:10
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. Encamped by the Red sea. This station is omitted in the historical itinerary of Exodus.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Numbers 33:10
STAT. VI. Verse 10. Encamped by the RED SEA.] It is difficult to assign the place of this encampment, as the Israelites were now on their way to Mount Sinai, which lay considerably to the east of Elim, and consequently farther from the sea than the former station. It might be called by the Red Sea, as the Israelites had it, as the principal object, still in view. This station however is mentioned nowhere else. By the Red Sea we are not to understand a sea, the waters of which are red, or the sand red, or any thing else about or in it red; for nothing of this kind appears. It is called in Hebrew ים סוף yam suph, which signifies the weedy sea. The Septuagint rendered the original by θαλασσαεραθρα, and the Vulgate after it by mare rubrum, and the European versions followed these, and, in opposition to etymology and reason, translated it the Red Sea. See Clarke on Exodus 10:19.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 33:10
10. Encamped by the Red Sea — Probably at Ras Abu Zenimeh, a flat, sandy strip of ground. “This is not given in Exodus as a station, but its distance from Elim, sixteen miles, indicates it as a fair day’s march from that point.
