Strong's Lexicon Choreb: Horeb Original Word: חֹרֵב Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַב (charav), meaning "to be dry" or "to be desolate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Horeb in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the Greek term Σινᾶ (Sinai, Strong's G4614) is often associated with Horeb in the Septuagint and New Testament references. Usage: Horeb is a significant mountain in the biblical narrative, often identified with Mount Sinai. It is the location where Moses encountered the burning bush (Exodus 3:1) and where the Israelites received the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 5:2). The name "Horeb" is sometimes used interchangeably with "Sinai," though some traditions distinguish between the two. Cultural and Historical Background: Horeb holds a central place in the history of Israel as the site of divine revelation and covenant. It is traditionally located in the Sinai Peninsula, though its exact location remains a subject of debate among scholars. In the biblical narrative, Horeb is depicted as a place of divine encounter, law-giving, and covenant-making, underscoring its importance in the religious and cultural identity of Israel.
