* the desert.
Mount Sinai, called by the Arabs Jibbel Mousa, the Mountain
of Moses, and sometimes by way of eminence, El Tor, the
Mount, is a range of mountains in the peninsula formed by the
gulfs of the Red Sea. It consists of several peaks, the
principal of which are Horeb and Sinai; the former, still
called Oreb, being on the west, and the latter, called Tur
Sina, on the east, at the foot of which is the convent of St.
Catherine. Dr. Shaw conceives that the wilderness of Sinai,
properly so called, is that part which is to the eastward of
this mount; so that the removal of the Israelites from
Rephidim, which was on the West, to the desert of Sinai, was
only removing from one part of the mountain to another.
