Where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments
SinaiHistorically Verified
Traditionally identified with Jebel Musa in the Sinai Peninsula, where St. Catherine's Monastery (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) has stood since the 500s AD. The exact mountain is still debated.
The mountain in the Sinai Peninsula where God met Moses and gave him the Law. The Israelites camped at its base for nearly a year after the Exodus. Moses went up the mountain and received the Ten Commandments and the detailed laws for worship. Also called Horeb in some texts. Elijah later fled here in despair and heard God in a still small voice.
