Mt. Sinai Location


_____________________


The distance from Cairo Egypt
to Nuweibaa is 300 miles

Average human walking speed is over 3 miles per hour.

If a person walks 10 hours a day,
he can walk 30 miles per day.

It would take 10 days 
to walk 300 miles.





























_____________________

The straight line ( air ) distance from Cairo Egypt


to Nuweibaa is 220 miles.

It would take 7 days to walk 220 miles.

*Midian is the Key :

 Moses saw the burning bush on
Horeb, the Mountain of God.

 Mt. Horeb = Mt. Sinai

 God tells Moses to free the Israelites,
and then serve God on Mt. Horeb ( Mt. Sinai ).

 This was in Midian.

 Mt. Sinai must be in Midian.

 Midian is in Saudi Arabia.

 This is the number one geographic clue
for the location of Mt. Sinai
_______

Exodus 2

 Verse 15 
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Exodus 3 

 Verses 1-2

 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 

 So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.

 Verse 12
So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

 The Bible also provides important evidence, Cross says. Almost every expert agrees that the scriptural land of Midian was east of the Gulf of Aqaba in southern Jordan and northern Arabia. And Midian was closely linked with Moses. The Bible reports that after he killed an overlord in Egypt, "Moses fled from Pharaoh, and stayed in the land of Midian" (Exodus 2:15).

Paul, Mt. Sinai, and Arabia.

NT Wright says:
One thing we know for sure is that,
for Paul, Arabia was the location of Mount Sinai.

In Paul's day, Arabia was the area to the south and east of Palestine.

NT Wright believes that Paul " went off to Mount Sinai "




Mt. Sinai and Horeb in Midian in Saudi Arabia,
and Paul and Elijah



_____________________


NT Wright :

When Paul was stopped in his tracks by the revelation on the road to Damascus, Paul did what Elijah did. Paul went off to Mount Sinai.

The word “Arabia” in Paul’s day covered the area to the south and east of Palestine.

One thing we know for sure is that,
for Paul, “Arabia” was the location of Mount Sinai.

PAUL, ARABIA, AND ELIJAH
GALATIANS 1:17

Journal of Biblical Literature
Volume 115, pages 683–692


Bottom of Page 2 - Top of Page 3 of the PDF

However, when stopped in his tracks by the revelation on the road to Damascus, he again did what Elijah did. He went off to Mount Sinai.

The word “Arabia” is very imprecise in Paul’s day, covering the enormous area to the south and east of Palestine; but one thing we know for sure is that, for Paul, “Arabia” was the location of Mount Sinai.

Indeed, Gal 1:17, our present passage, and 4:25, “for Sinai is a mountain in Arabia,” are the only two occurrences of Arabia in the whole New Testament.

Saul of Tarsus then “returned to Damascus” just like Elijah in 1 Kgs 19:15

Dr. NT Wright Biography

NT Wright notes the parallels
in Galatians 1 and 1 Kings 19

Paul went to Arabia,
received the gospel by the revelation of Jesus Christ,
and then Paul returned to Damascus.

Elijah went to Horeb the mountain of God,
the word of the Lord came to him,
and was instructed to return to Damascus.

1 Kings 19

 Queen Jezebel was the wife of Ahab the king of Israel.

 Jezebel threatened the life of Elijah.

 Elijah arose and ran for his life, 
and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah.

 Elijah went a day’s journey into the wilderness, 
and came and sat down under a juniper tree. 

 As Elijah lay and slept under the juniper tree, 
an angel of the Lord touched Elijah, and said, 
“Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 

 Elijah arose and ate and drank, 
and went 
in the strength of that food 
forty days and forty nights 
as far as 
Horeb, the mountain of God.

 There Elijah went into a cave and lodged in the cave. 
And behold, the word of the Lord came to Elijah.

Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 

 11 But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 

 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

 13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 

 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 

 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,

 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,[a] and remained with him fifteen days. 

 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 

 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

 21 Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the[d] two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 

 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 

 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Name of the Month – Red Sea
By: Jeff A. Benner

After the Israelites were delivered out of Egypt they camped at the "Red Sea". When the chariots of Pharaoh arrived the waters of the "Red Sea" were parted and the Israelites crossed over into safety on the other side. 

The "Red Sea" is actually a misnomer from the translation of the Hebrew. The Hebrew is ים סוף (yam suph). The Hebrew word ים (yam) means "sea" and when used alone refers to the Mediterranean Sea. Another Hebrew word is derived from this word, it is the word יום (yom) meaning day. In the Hebrew reckoning of time, the day begins at sunset. At sunset the sun sets in the west and into the Mediterranean Sea.

The word סוף (suph) literally means "edge". This can be the edge of a country (border), the lips as the edge of the mouth, or an outline of something. In the Biblical text this word is used for "reeds" which line the banks, or edge, of rivers. Hence, the "yam suph" is the "Sea of Reeds" or "Reed Sea". Somewhere in time the "Reed Sea" became the "Red Sea".

This same word, "suph", is used in Jewish theology in the term "eyen soph" (with just a vowel change). The word "eyn" means "without" and "soph" means "edge" or "definition" (as an outline). The phrase "eyn soph" means "without definition" and is used for God, the one who has no definition, outline or form.

Suph
is the common Hebrew word for

The truth may be this,
that the Red Sea
was know to the Hebrews 
as Yam Soph
because they regarded
the Red Sea as
the sea at the End

The word
סוף

 Suph
literally means “edge” 

 This can be the edge of a country (border),
the lips as the edge of the mouth, or an outline of something. 

This same word, “suph”, 
is used in Jewish theology in the term “eyen soph” 
(with just a vowel change). 

 The word “eyn” means “without” 
and 
“soph” means 
“edge” or “definition” (as an outline).

 The phrase “eyn soph” 
means “without definition”

 Latin Vulgate  Red Sea

 Greek  Red Sea

 Erythra
Rubrum

 red ~ reEd   this play on words in only in English
Red Sea is a direct translation of the Greek Erythra Thalassa (Ερυθρὰ Θάλασσα) and Latin Mare Rubrum (alternatively Sinus Arabicus, literally "Arabian Gulf"), 

 The name of the sea may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured Trichodesmium erythraeum near the water's surface.

 A theory favored by some modern scholars is that the name red is referring to the direction south, just as the Black Sea's name may refer to north. The basis of this theory is that some Asiatic languages used color words to refer to the cardinal directions.  Herodotus on one occasion uses Red Sea and Southern Sea interchangeably.

 Historically, it was also known to western geographers as Mare Mecca (Sea of Mecca), and Sinus Arabicus (Gulf of Arabia).  Some ancient geographers called the Red Sea the Arabian Gulf or Gulf of Arabia.

 The association of the Red Sea with the biblical account of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea is ancient, and was made explicit in the Septuagint translation of the Book of Exodus from Hebrew to Koine Greek in approximately the third century B.C. In that version, the Hebrew Yam Suph (ים סוף) is translated as Erythra Thalassa (Red Sea). (See also the more recent suggestion that the Yam Suph of the Exodus refers to a Sea of Reeds). The Red Sea is one of four seas named in English after common color terms — the others being the Black Sea, the White Sea and the Yellow Sea. The direct rendition of the Greek Erythra thalassa in Latin as Mare Erythraeum refers to the north-western part of the Indian Ocean, and also to a region on Mars.
