AMPLIFIED 2015 | Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro (Reuel) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb (Sinai), the mountain of God. |
Bible Question: Mountain of God...what is this talking about? Was this known as a place where God met people or people worshiped God or did Moses name it later? |
Bible Answer: Here's one way to look at it. All mountains belong to Jehovah God by reason of his being their Former. (Ps 95:4; Am 4:13) However, the words “mountain of Jehovah” or ‘of God’ often apply in a special way to mountains where Jehovah revealed his presence. These include Mount Sinai or Horeb (Ex 3:1; Nu 10:33) and the mountain associated with Jehovah’s sanctuary.—Ps 24:3. |
