Footnote 3 – From Storm God to Abstract Being

The name Horeb is also used to designate the place where Moses came upon the burning bush (Exodus 3:1) and where Elijah experienced his own personal theophany when fleeing Jezebel (1 Kings 19:8). Horeb is also mentioned in 1 Kings 8:9 and Malachi 3:22 as the site of revelation and law giving. Psalms 106:19 recalls Horeb as the site of the golden calf incident.
