The Hebrews are now free from Pharaoh’s army and headed to Mount Sinai, also called Mount Horeb throughout the Bible. If you search online or in a variety of Bible atlases, you will find a dozen mountains identified as Mount Sinai. Which one is correct? One of the challenges with identifying locations from the past is that names can change, and established traditions can obfuscate actual evidence. Similar to how we identified the most likely candidate for the Red Sea crossing in the previous episode, we will go through the clues from the Bible and compare them to what we find in the field to help identify the most likely place for the Biblical Mount Sinai.
