Having conducted more than 30 years of archaeological work on and around Har Karkom—a 2,700-foot ridge in the southern Negev—Emmanuel Anati is convinced that he has found the Biblical Mt. Sinai. At Har Karkom, Anati discovered 1,300 archaeological sites, 40,000 rock engravings and more than 120 rock cult sites.
Luke 9:55–56: “But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.”. Codex Sinaiticus. Luke 24:51 Omits “carried up into heaven.”. Leaving no ascension in the Gospels.
Moses then led Israel toward the mountains farther south, camping at Mount Sinai. There God’s people received the Law, built the tabernacle, and offered sacrifices. In the second year, they went north through a “great and fear-inspiring wilderness,” the journey to the area of Kadesh (Kadesh-barnea) apparently taking 11 days.
Elie Wiesel points out that this incident, which had disastrous consequences for the Israelites fleeing Egypt, cast a shadow over Aaron. In Exodus 32, Aaron instructs the Israelites, who had grown restless during Moses’ long sojourn at Mount Sinai, to gather their jewelry and fashion a golden calf. He then constructs an altar and begins to ...
Various reconstructions likewise differ on the locations that would have been present on the original map. Conservative estimates place the northern border on the Phoenician coast and the southern border at Mt. Sinai and the Egyptian city of Thebes.

We might say he was a man who was a son of Abraham who led the people but was not typical of them. In “The Man Moses,” Peter Machinist proposes that our Exodus hero is a type of anti-hero, outside the stereotype of a tribal or national leader. He might represent the people of Israel themselves, biblically portrayed as being outsiders.
by Janet Soskice New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2009, 316 pp., $27.95 (hardcover) The Sisters of Sinai. Sometimes the stories of ancient Biblical artifacts found by early travelers and explorers are just as exciting and interesting as the discoveries themselves. This seems to be especially true in the case of ancient Biblical manuscripts, which are ...
By: Robin Ngo. Where is Mt. Sinai? At a 2013 colloquium in Israel, an international group of scholars debated the question. At the center of the debate was Har Karkom, a mountain ridge in the Negev Desert that archaeologist Emmanuel Anati believes to be the Biblical Mt. Sinai.
Mount Horeb is certainly NOT in Sinai. It is not a volcano which Exodus describes in detail. It is not in territory free from the pursuing Egyptians and is not known in detail by Moses. Midian, on the other hand, is where Moses lived for many years, had his family and connections, knew the territory and the mountains and was safe from the ...
These ruins once belonged to the temple on Mount Gerizim. Photo: Amos Meron/CC by-SA 3.0. Archaeological evidence shows that a temple was built on Mount Gerizim around 450 B.C.E. during the Persian period. The temple complex was expanded during the Hellenistic period around 200 B.C.E., and it functioned until the Maccabees destroyed it in 110 B ...
