[Mesorah] רעמסס

[Akiva Miller]

I asked this question on Avodah 3 years ago.
Here's a link to that issue:
http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol38/v38n117.shtml#03
It only got one response, and it is in that same issue.
Spoiler alert: You only mentioned two of the five psukim.
It also appears in Shemos 12:37, 33:3, 33:5.
