Senses in use

  1. Named mountain and location · dominant

    The form is tagged as a proper noun in every occurrence and identifies a place: in Exodus 3:1 the APB renders Moses coming to “the mountain of God, Horeb,” while in Deuteronomy 4:10 it renders Israel standing there before the LORD for an assembly. The same location frames covenant-making in Deuteronomy 5:2, departure toward Kadesh-barnea in Deuteronomy 1:19, water from a rock in Exodus 17:6, and the making of a calf in Psalm 106:19.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB normally presents the name as “Horeb,” and in Exodus 3:1 and Exodus 33:6 as part of “the mountain of God, Horeb” or “Mount Horeb.” Its surrounding wording is used only to identify the place-setting of each verse.
