ExodusSteve Gregg
The location of Mount Sinai, where half of the book of Exodus takes place, is still uncertain. However, conservative Christians increasingly identify Jabil-al-Laz in Saudi Arabia as the probable location due to its proximity to the Midian region. The book of Exodus contains significant themes and events that find fulfillment in the New Testament, including the Passover, the tabernacle, and the manna, which serves as a prototype for God's deliverance of people from bondage. Additionally, the book of Exodus serves as a foreshadowing of the New Testament experience.
