When it comes to natural locations unlike the marked and named cities of the world, how do we know we have the right mountain or the right valley or the right sea or the right river? I ask not to inform you but for you to inform me. Is the mountain of Mosa the one in Sinai or is it the one in Arabia? Is the sea the Suez or the Aqaba? Is Mount Sinai or Mount Horeb the right mountain or should they be volcanic? What are some thoughts on this.


I am not trying to defy nor break tradition but rather to prove which traditions are true and which are false. A false tradition should fall to truth. Anything that I myself say that turns out to be false should fall as I would want it to. Moses did go to die in a mountain specifically because he came to realize his pity mounted up to more that the people didnt know nor appreciate him, much like Jonah irritated that he should receive acceptance for giving Nineveh a warning that required heeding, when suddenly he realized they were right, it is God they need to know and appreciate, and they didnt. And so Moses saw Joshua as the time to take over while Moses accepts a walk-off in death. I will admit that I do not see myself too much different than agreeing with Jonah and Moses here. I do see the lesson, and I also do say I dont want it.
