because the angel of the Lord appeared to Moses on this moutain
Mount Horeb is called the mountain of God because it is believed to be the place where God appeared to Moses in the form of a burning bush and provided him with the Ten Commandments. It holds significance in several religious traditions as a sacred site of communication between humanity and the divine.
This event occurred at Mount Horeb, also known as Mount Sinai, when Moses encountered the burning bush and received his divine call from God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
Moses was attracted to the burning bush because it caught his attention as an unusual sight - a bush that was on fire but not consumed. This miraculous sight prompted Moses to approach and investigate what was happening. Ultimately, it was through this burning bush that God called out to Moses.
God appeared to Moses in the biblical story on Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Horeb, in the desert of the Sinai Peninsula. This is where Moses received the Ten Commandments and had various encounters with God, as documented in the Book of Exodus in the Bible.
God called Moses to climb Mount Sinai. Why? Simply put Moses needed a break!Why would the scripture say moses was called to the top of a mountain, then say He went to the top of the mountain...? Isn't that kinda repetitive? When Moses was called to the top of the mountain, It was Gods way of saying climb the mountain and be on top of the mountain. So often we can be on the mountain but inside we can be somewhere else. He was saying to Moses Leave your worries and concerns at the bottom of the mountain and be with Me... don't even think about how to get down... just be on top of the mountain!

He actually spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice.
This story is in 1 Kings.19. The length of time that God spoke to Elijah on Mt Horeb is not given in the Bible, but from the story, Elijah 'lodged' in the cave on Mt Horeb while God spoke to him. God spoke to him 123 words and a 'still small voice'; perhaps over a day or two. But more important are God's words to him rather than the length of time he took to speak them.
