Ezion-Geber or Asiongaber (Classical Hebrew: עֶצְיֹן גֶּבֶר, pronounced "Etzyón-Gaver") was a city of Idumea, a biblical seaport on the northern extremity of the Ælanitic Gulf (now called the Gulf of Aqaba), in the area of modern Aqaba and Eilat. (Elat) A place at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba beneath mt Horab where Moses used to tend the sheep of his father in law Jethro; and is reunited with him immediately after the Sons of Israel led by Moses cross the Red Sea and do battle with the Rephidim. Elat lay then at the shared border of Egypt, Edom, Moab, and Midian; and today at the shared border of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
