The Exodus Route - the land of Median is Medina, Saudi Arabia, where Mount Sinai is located!


Watch the whole Youtube video “Exodus route 2 - Locating Mount Sinai, the Desert of Sin, Rephidim & the Desert of Paran”.


The Hebrew text for Midian is Mem Dalet Yod Nun and is currently pronounced as Midian with the Yod used as consonant. However, if Hiriq is written in the consonant preceding Yod, which in this case is the Dalet, the Yod is used as the vowel i with a long ee sound like the “i” in Medina. And since vowels and niqqud marks were not written in the original Bible transcript, Mem Dalet Yod Nun could have been pronounced as Medina during Moses’ time instead. And this explains why while the Israelites were in Rephidim, Jethro priest of Midian (or should I say Medina), visited Moses - see Exodus 18.
