ΧΩΡΗΒʼ, χωρηβʼ
CHŌRĒBʼ, chōrēbʼ
Sounds Like: kho-REB
Translations: Horeb
From the root: ΧΩΡΗΒ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This is a proper noun referring to Mount Horeb, also known as Mount Sinai. It is a significant location in the Old Testament where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that the word is being used as a numeral, specifically 600, but in this context, it is clearly a proper noun and the keraia is likely a scribal mark or an indication of abbreviation, or perhaps a misinterpretation of an accent in a manuscript without diacritics. Given the context, it refers to the mountain.
Inflection: Singular, Locative (implied by context of 'in Horeb'), Invariable (as a proper noun)
