Where did Moses receive the 10 commandments?

Mount Sinai is the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. According to biblical stories and scholars, Moses departed to the mountain and stayed there for 40 days and nights in order to receive the Ten Commandments. He had to do it twice because he broke the first set of stone tablets after returning from the mountain for the first time.

To Ben Totuous: religion is not a crutch for those who cannot accept their own mortality. Biblical Judaism believed that when you died, that was the end of your life. The best for which you can hope is for your "name" to live on through your [male] children. The reason the BODILY resurrection of Jesus is so important is that without the body, there is no life. Christian resurrection is no crutch. As the Apostle Paul wrote regarding Jesus' resurrection, it is a "stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles." So, consider it foolishness, if you must; you will be the one who has left himself out upon your death. I don't "need" the resurrection, but I am sure glad it is there! BTW: the resurrection of Jesus is the seal of proof on the power and truth of God's loving forgiveness. The God of the Bible is not the vindictive god of your confused idea of what religion is.

Got it!!! Ben toutuous FYI. I don't want to insult your intelligence but, can you see the air? or the oxygen that you breath? But you know that's what keeps youla alive, rigth? God is invisible but by his creation we know that he exist! Can you explain the complexity of the brain function? Or the miracle of life? Kekwnelson was right when he quoted from Psalms 14:1" A fool say in his heart there's no god his deeds are EVIL" You want to mess with the almighty? Don't think so...

This description makes it sound like Moses just tripped and dropped the first set of tablets...lol. He destroyed them because his followers started worshipping the golden calf (a false idol) in his 40-day absense.

My opinion is each to his own. I am a non-believer but I am entitled to my opinion the same as anyone else. Just please don't try to convert me. My sister has tried and failed.

Any time there is a question about religion or politics some numb skull has to give some lame-brain opinions about "God's existence", or how great or poor of a President so and so is. GET A LIFE PEOPLE-this is a Daily Quiz web site- not the op.ed. page .

There's nothing like a religious question to wind people up,

OMG! All you had to do was pick an answer! No one cares if you do or don't believe what the Bible says. Save it for a Bible study group setting.

The Old Testament also identifies the mountain where the covenant was given as Mount Horeb.
