The Mountain at Sinai [13-01]
After God led the Israelites through the Red Sea, he led them through the wilderness to a mountain called Sinai. This was the same mountain where Moses had seen the burning bush. The people set up their tents at the base of the mountain.
带领以色列人穿过红海后，神又带领他们穿过旷野，来到了一座名叫西奈的山下，于是人们在山下安营扎寨。

Translation Notes:
- burning bush - Before Moses returned to Egypt, God had spoken to him from a shrub that was on fire, but that was not burned up by the fire. See :zh:obs🎶frames:09-12].
- set up their tents - The Israelites had to travel a great distance from Egypt to the Promised Land. So they took tents with them so that they could set them up as shelters and sleep in them along the way. Some languages could translate this as, "hung their tents."
- base of the mountain – This could be translated as, "bottom of the mountain." This refers to the area of land that is located next to the place where the ground starts to slant upward to form a mountain.
