Why should the valley through Petra be named after Moses — if Moses was never there? Could it be that Moses and the children of Israel actually assembled in Petra before entering the Promised Land? Why are so many chapters in the Bible devoted to the minute details of the journey of Israel from Egypt to Palestine? Have these chapters hitherto undisclosed historical meaning? Today, almost no one supposes Israel ever saw Petra. Yet not more than two centuries ago it was common knowledge among scholars that Moses, Aaron, Miriam and the children of Israel journeyed through Petra! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
