Note 105 — LETTER XXXIII.

See the manner in which Robinson combines, and weighs both views, i., p. 197, &c. All those passages where precisely the same is said concerning Horeb, as about Sinai, are opposed to the more recent opinion that Horeb was the general designation for the mountain range, or for the district, and that Sinai was the individual Mount, while not a single passage requires us to think of a large extent of ground. No mention is ever made of a “Wilderness of Horeb,” as of the Wildernesses of Sûr, Sin, Paran, and others. We might also cite in favour of the opposite opinion Acts vii. 30 compared with Exodus iii. 1.
