H5514. Sinay
סִינַי proper name, of a mountain Sinai; — name of mountain of law-giving in J and especially P (חֹרֵב in E and especially D): Jdg 5:5; Psa 68:9; Deu 33:2 (poem), also Exo 16:1 (P); usually הַרסִֿינַי (סִֿינָ֑י Lev 7:38 +), rarely J, Exo 19:20, Exo 19:23 and perhaps Exo 34:2, Exo 34:4, elsewhere mostly P, Exo 24:16; Exo 31:18; Exo 34:29, Exo 34:32; Lev 7:38; Lev 25:1; Lev 27:34; and Lev 26:46 (H), Num 3:1; Num 28:6, also Neh 9:13; סִינַי מִרְבַּר (סִינָ֑י Num 1:19 +), Exo 19:1-2, Lev 7:38; Num 1:1, Num 1:19; Num 3:4, Num 3:14; Num 9:1, Num 9:5; Num 10:12; Num 26:64; Num 33:15-16, (all P); — in view of these facts, and of E's use of חֹרֵב (q. v.), it is probably that Exo 19:11, Exo 19:18 (in E passages) are from R. — ᵐ5 Σ(ε)ινα. Identification dubious; local tradition names Jebel Musa, mountain at southern end of peninsular between the two arms of Red Sea, so RobBR i. 90 ff., especially 119-122 compare StanleySinai and Pal. 42 f. and elsewhere, specifically its northern spur, Ras ‚afƒâfeh; but LepsiusBriefe 345 ff., 416 ff. EbGS especially 392 ff. and others advocate Serbal, northwest from Jebel Musa (on tradition, cf Ebib. 413 ff.); see discussion DiExo 19:1. Against both is the working of Egyptian mines in the peninsula as late as the 19th dynasty (see EbGS 135, 148 ff., 159, etc.), involving presence of soldiers there. This, and connection with Midian (compare also Jdg 5:5), have led to search for Sinai further northeast, near head of Gulf of Akaba, or even in Seir, so SayMonuments 263 ff., compare GFMJdg 5:5; Jdg 6:1 and Yakut, cited by Id179n. §, also see GallAltisr. Kultst. 12; on sanctity of the mountain see further RSSem i. 110 f., 2nd ed. 177 f. SmRel. Geschichte. 30.
