Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרֵב (charav), meaning "to be dry" or "to be desolate."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Choreb" in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the Greek Septuagint often translates "Horeb" as Χωρήβ (Chōrēb), maintaining the proper noun in its transliterated form. Usage: The term "Choreb" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. It is often used interchangeably with Mount Sinai, although some traditions distinguish between the two. Context: • Choreb (Horeb) is a mountain in the Sinai Peninsula, traditionally identified as the location where Moses encountered the burning bush and later received the Ten Commandments. It is a place of divine revelation and covenant, playing a central role in the narrative of the Exodus. The name "Horeb" is used in several key passages, including Exodus 3:1, where Moses first encounters God in the burning bush, and Deuteronomy 5:2, where the covenant is reiterated. The mountain is depicted as a sacred site where God communicates directly with His people, establishing laws and commandments that form the foundation of Israelite society and religion. The association of Horeb with desolation or dryness may reflect the arid environment of the region, emphasizing the miraculous nature of God's presence and provision in such a setting.
