According to Exodus, Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai.
Exodus describes the Israelites arriving at Mount Sinai after leaving Egypt. There, God establishes a covenant with the people through Moses. The mountain becomes the setting for the giving of the Ten Commandments and additional laws governing Israel’s worship and communal life.
The biblical name is traditionally identified with a mountain in the Sinai Peninsula, although the precise historical location remains debated. Horeb is another name used for the mountain of God in parts of the Old Testament, and many readers treat Sinai and Horeb as referring to the same sacred mountain.
Mount Nebo is a frequent mix-up because Moses later views Canaan from there before his death. Mount Carmel is associated with Elijah’s contest against the prophets of Baal, while Mount Tabor is linked with battles and later Christian tradition.
