“The Bible & the Bedouin” is a non-fiction manuscript that deals with the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to the land of Canaan, but through the eyes of the Bedouin tribes surrounding the Red Sea area. The local Bedouin tribes have traditions about Moses, his father-in-law, and the children of Israel having travelled through their various regions. I found this very curious, and took the opportunity to research and catalogue those traditions, map them out in a simple format, and compare their stories with the place names mentioned in the Bible and ancient historians. I was astonished to find that their accounts not only match the biblical account, but also answers curious questions that arise in the Bible but are not explained within it’s pages. For example: Why is the same mountain sometimes called Sinai and other times Horeb? …the Bedouin have the answer.
