- Place name meaning, thorn or clay. Egyptian military outpost near the mouth of the easternmost branch of the Nile, about eighteen miles west of the Suez Canal, identified with modern el Farama. Some modern translations follow the Vulgate in reading Pelusium at (Ezek 30:15-16: NIV, NRSV, TEV; also KJV and NASB margins). Pelusium was the site of the defeat of Pharaoh Psammetichus III by Cambyses of Persia in 525 B.C. KJV, NASB follow the Hebrew in reading Sin. Some Greek and Latin witnesses read Sais, the capital of the Twenty-Sixth (Saite) Dynasty (663-525 B.C.), at (Ezek 30:15). Sais was located on the westernmost branch of the Nile. The REB follows the earliest Greek translation in reading Syene (modern Aswan) at (Ezek 30:16).
