This location is significant as it represents a pivotal moment in Israel's history when God established His covenant with them. The mountain is traditionally identified with Jebel Musa in the Sinai Peninsula. Horeb is a place of divine revelation and law-giving, underscoring the gravity of the Israelites' actions there.<p><b>you provoked the LORD</b><br>The Israelites' provocation refers to their idolatry with the golden calf, as recorded in <a href="/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a>. This act of rebellion occurred shortly after they had pledged to obey God's commandments. Provoking the LORD indicates a deliberate act of disobedience and lack of faith, highlighting the Israelites' tendency to stray from God's commands despite witnessing His miracles.<p><b>and He was angry enough to destroy you</b><br>God's anger reflects His holiness and justice in response to sin. The severity of His anger underscores the seriousness of idolatry and covenant-breaking. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of God's righteous judgment against sin, as seen in other instances such as the flood in <a href="/genesis/6.htm">Genesis 6-9</a> and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in <a href="/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19</a>. However, God's mercy is also evident, as He ultimately spares the Israelites through Moses' intercession, foreshadowing Christ's role as the ultimate mediator between God and humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/horeb.htm">Horeb</a></b><br>Also known as Mount Sinai, this is the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.
