rameses
   "the land of" gen. 47:11, was probably "the land of goshen"
   q.v. 45:10. after the hebrews had built rameses, one of the
   "treasure cities," it came to be known as the "land" in which
   that city was built.
   
     the city bearing this name ex. 12:37 was probably identical
   with zoan, which rameses ii. "son of the sun" rebuilt. it
   became his special residence, and ranked next in importance and
   magnificance to thebes. huge masses of bricks, made of nile mud,
   sun-dried, some of them mixed with stubble, possibly moulded by
   jewish hands, still mark the site of rameses. this was the
   general rendezvous of the israelites before they began their
   march out of egypt. called also raamses ex. 1:11.
