Wilderness of Sinai

시내 광야

The wilderness where Numbers 1:1 and 1:19 place the census and 3:4 the deaths of Nadab and Abihu. Numbers 9:5 has the Passover kept there on the fourteenth day of the first month, and 10:12 has the children of Israel set out from it. This collection keeps it apart from the entry for Mount Sinai. Numbers 33:15–16 lists it as the camp after Rephidim and before Kibroth Hattaavah.

¹In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
²When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
³Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
⁴‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
⁵Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
⁶and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
