• On the fifteenth of the month, as Israel’s hosts gathered together, the moon was at full, the night was as day, every object was visible as evidently as in the sunlight, though garbed with a peculiar tenderness. Tanis stood “in the field of Zoan” (Psalm 78 :12,43), and, as has been observed, it bore the name of Rameses, for Pharaoh loved to impress his name on such cities as he had restored to their earlier glory, as well as on those he built. Temple city as it was, it had been built for the glory of the king, whose huge statue “towered up above all surrounding buildings” over-capping the temples and obelisks, and could be “seen for miles across the plain.” In “the field of Zoan” was the great review ground for Egypt’s chariots, a Champ de Mars of unrivaled excellence, where “the hosts of the warriors were mustered to be exercised in the maneuvers of battle.”1 It cannot at present be positively determined whether Israel departed from the city Rameses, or the district which bore the same name, neither can it be said with certainty that Tanis and the Rameses of the Bible are identical, but such a plain of assembly as the review ground of the chariots seems one highly suitable for the great muster of Jehovah’s armies, and one grandly adapted for their outgoing from their bonds “with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.” (“Liberty” by H.F. Witherby)
