Sinai (sî'nâi, or sî'naî, or sî'na-î), broken or deft rocks? The name of a district, a range of mountains and a mountain peak. The district is in the peninsula lying between the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Akaba, and the mountains in the district are celebrated as the place where the Mosaic law was given. Exodus 16:1; Exodus 19:2-25; Exodus 24:12; Exodus 24:18; Exodus 25:40; Exodus 34:2-35; Leviticus 7:38; Leviticus 25:1; Leviticus 26:46; Leviticus 27:34; Deuteronomy 33:2; Judges 5:5; Hebrews 8:5; Hebrews 12:18-21. The "peak" where the law was given is now generally believed to be identical with Ras Sufsafeh, the northern portion of Jebel Musa.
