Mo´ab, the land of Lot's descendants, east of the Dead Sea (Num. 21. 13). 5.) Ca´naan, the land of promise (Gen. 12. 7).

4. Fix also the location of three Mountains. 1.) Mount Si´nai, where the law was given (Exod. 19. 20). 2.) Mount Hor,[3] where Aar´on died (Num. 20. 23-28). 3.) Mount Ne´bo (Pis´gah), where Mo´ses died (Deut. 34. 1).

5. Notice also seven Places, some of which are clearly, others not so definitely, identified. 1.) Ram´e-ses, the starting point of the Is´ra-el-ites (Exod. 12. 37). 2.) Ba´al-ze´phon, the place of crossing the Red Sea (Exod. 14. 2). 3.) Ma´rah, where the bitter waters were sweetened (Exod. 15. 22-25). 4.) E´lim, the place of rest (Exod. 15. 27). 5.) Reph´i-dim, the place of the first battle, near Mount Si´nai (Exod. 17. 8-16). 6.) Ka´desh-bar´ne-a, whence the spies were sent forth (Num. 13. 26). 7.)
