Sinai, Wilderness Of (מִדְבַּ֥ר סִינָֽי, midbar sinay). The desert region in the vicinity of Mount Sinai (Exod 19:1–2). During the time Israel spent in the region of Mount Sinai, the area where they were camped is referred to as the “wilderness” (or “desert”) of Sinai (Num 1:1; 10:12). This region is the setting for the biblical account from Exod 19:1 to Num 10:12. Israel is camped here when the tabernacle is constructed and when Aaron and his sons are consecrated as priests (Exod 25–40). The ritual and sacrificial laws of Leviticus related to the priests and the tabernacle are also set here (Lev 7:38). After approximately a year, the Israelites break camp at Sinai and journey to the wilderness of Paran (Num 10:12). For more information on Israel in the wilderness, see this article: Wilderness Wanderings.
