The Idol in Horeb

By Charles T. Beke and Charles Tilstone Beke

Book Overview

The Idol in Horeb is a book written by Charles T. Beke. The book is a historical and religious account of the Israelites and their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. It focuses on the events that took place at Mount Horeb, where the Israelites created a golden calf idol and worshiped it instead of God. The book delves into the reasons behind the Israelites' actions and the consequences that followed. It also explores the role of Moses in the story and how he managed to convince God to forgive the Israelites for their sin. The Idol in Horeb is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on the human tendency to stray from faith and the importance of repentance and forgiveness. It is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical history and the lessons it can teach us about life and spirituality.1871.
