HOREB.—See Sinai.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("dry, dried up".) The designation of the northern part of the Sinaitic range, so Rephidim is made to be situated in it (Exo_17:6). Sinai was the central mass of mountains including the particular peak from which the law was given. So the name "Sinai" is most used from Exo_19:11 to Num_3:1, where Israel is described as at or about the scene of the giving of the law. But, in Deuteronomy, where Israel appears no longer in that region, "Horeb" is used. Sinai means "sharp pointed," "toothed" (Knobel), the point Ras Sufsafeh. (See EXODUS; SINAI.)

Ho'reb. (desert). See Sinai.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


a mountain in Arabia Petraea, a part of which, or near to which, was Sinai. At Horeb God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, Exo_3:1, &c. Hither Elijah retired to avoid the persecution of Jezebel, 1Ki_19:8. Sinai and Horeb seem to be two parts of the same mountain; hence the law is sometimes said to be given there.
