Biblical echoes reverberatein modem Sinai as a Bedouin woman (right) bakes unleavened bread similar to that made in haste and carried out of Pharaoh's Egypt by the Israelitesof the Exodus. After theirmiraculous escape through the sea into Sinai, the fleeing multitude came to an oasis called Elim, set about by 70 palm trees. At a similar oasis (below) a woman sorts dates from surroundingpalms. When dry, the fruit will help supply the family and their herds of camels, goats, and sheep with food for the winter.
