Mount Horeb

[11] According to Exodus 3:5, the ground of the mountain was considered holy, and Moses was commanded by God to remove his sandals.

"[18] 1 Kings 8:9 and 2 Chronicles 5:10 state that the Ark of the Covenant contained only the tablets delivered to Moses at Horeb.

Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children."

[2] Elijah is described in 1 Kings 19:1–21 as traveling to Horeb (taking 40 days to walk there from Beersheba),[25] in a way which implies that its position was familiar when that was written, but there are no biblical references set any later in time.

Also in the beginning of Deuteronomy, where Moses delivers his last speech on the plains of Moab, the location is given to be 11 days to Horeb, which is already an indication that it is not Mount Sinai (ca 500 km distance).

This strongly suggest a location somewhere more to the north or the east, places more familiar to the northern tribes than the deep southern Sinai.

Christian tradition considers Mount Horeb to be Willow Peak, located adjacent to Saint Catherine's Monastery.
