The Israelites looked to Mt. Sinai as the place of the beginning of their relationship with God. It holds special significance then as the place where the relationship was sealed. It was where Elijah went after Jezebel threatened his life (1 Kings 19:2), and where Paul followed in Elijah's footsteps after being threatened with death himself for declaring Jesus as King in the synagogue at Damascus (Acts 9:23-24). In both cases, they went to Mt. Sinai out of brokenness, seeking to be renewed in their relationship with God, and to receive instruction for their next steps.
