And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
Mount Sinai in the Bible
Mount Sinai is the mountain associated in Exodus with God's covenant with Israel after the departure from Egypt. Moses encountered God there, Israel received the commandments, and the mountain became a defining setting for the themes of holiness, covenant, law and divine presence.
Historical Context
Scripture identifies Sinai by its narrative and theological role but does not provide coordinates that allow the mountain to be located with certainty today. Several locations have been proposed. A Study page should therefore distinguish the biblical identity of Sinai from later traditions about a particular modern summit.
