In “Exodus,” from within a burning bush at Horeb, God commanded him to lead the Jews out of Egypt. It may have been an alternative name for Mt. Sinai; based on linguistic analyses, the Jawhist and Priestly Sources employ the name Sinai, while the Elohist and Deuteronomist sources use Horeb. (In 1878 Julius Wellhausen identified 4 sources of the Torah, written by various authors and combined into a single document by a series of editors over several centuries.) Perhaps “Horeb” meant “glowing” or “heat,” a reference to the sun, while “Sinai” may have been derived from Sin, the Sumerian moon god who was recognized as the supreme creator during the time that Ur was the ruling city in Mesopotamia.<br /><br />Ago Iwoye is a city in Ogun, Nigeria.DuanesPoeTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053093400086634552noreply@blogger.com
