Desert of Wandering

The desert of the forty-year wandering was not the Sinai.
Peninsula, but a much larger area. The inclination of the
historians is generally to deny the ancients long itineraries;
Midian being the Medina of Moslem times, actually deep in the
Arabian Peninsula, all indications in the Old Testament are for a
deep penetration of the Arab Peninsula by the wandering Israelites
who escaped the land of Egypt destroyed by the catastrophe in the
mid-fifteenth century before the present era.

There are autochthonous Arab traditions about the wandering tribes
led by Mosaikaia, his brother Arnran, and his sister Zeripha. These
traditions have not been borrowed from the Old Testament or
rabbinical tradition. From the Bible and Midrashim, the Arabs
culled much of the content of the Koran, but they did not realize
that their traditions about Mosaikaia (and the catastrophe that
took place in his time) are of independent origin, though referring
to the same persons and events.

All together indicates that the Israelites under Moses did not
spend forty years in the small triangular Sinai Peninsula, but in
the western regions of Arabia.
