(Jan N. from the audio team asked about "Reed Sea" in Exodus. She wondered if it should be "Red Sea." The ULB OT has "Sea of Reeds" everywhere except 1Ki 9:26.)

The ULB NT has "Sea of Reeds" in these two verses even though the Greek word modifying "sea" is ἐρυθρός (eruthros), which means "red.""

Act 7:36
Heb 11:29

Suggestion: Change "Sea of Reeds" in the NT to "Red Sea"
