Moses had camped at Mount Sinai when returning to Egypt from Midian with his wife and son. He also met Aaron there when returning to Egypt from Midian (Exodus 4:27) on a different trip. Thus strongly suggests Mount Sinai was located near the ancient road connecting Egypt to Midian – a road still used today as an Islamic pilgrimage route to ...
Five kings of Midian slain by Israel (illustration from the 1728 Figures de la Bible) Midian was the son of Abraham. [21] Abraham's great-grandson Joseph, after being thrown into a pit by his brothers, was sold to either Midianites or Ishmaelites. [22] Moses spent 40 years in voluntary exile in Midian after killing an Egyptian. [23]

Moses consented and went to his father-in-law, Jethro, [79] to obtain permission to leave Midian, [80] for he had promised not to leave Midian without his sanction. Moses departed with his wife and children and met Aaron , [ 81 ] who told him it was not right to take them into Egypt since the attempt was being made to lead the Israelites out of ...
A map of Midian, the area where Shuʿayb was sent to prophesy, in Islamic belief. The Qur'an states that Shuaib was appointed by God to be a prophet to the people of Midian. The people of this land were said to be especially notorious for cheating others through dishonesty and for idolatry.
Critical examination of the biblical narrative of Moses meeting Jethro and the events that unfolded thereafter comprise the first support of the Kenite theory. Moses, son of Levitical parents [16] sojourns in the land of Midian, where he eventually marries the daughter of Jethro, described as a priest (perhaps the priest) of Midian.
