He nui nā Karistiano, nā Iudaio a me nā kānaka i makemake i nā pilikia o ka mōʻaukala a me ka moʻomeheu kahiko, e moe ana i ka maunaʻo Mose ma Sinai. Hōʻoia ka moʻolelo o ka Mō'ī Hemolele i ka Mō'ī Mose iʻAigupita me ka hāʻawiʻana mai o ka Haku i nā mea i kohoʻia o nā papa kapu me nā kauoha a kānaka. Wahi a ka moolelo, nā pilgrim i piʻi i luna o ka Mō'ī Moses a hui i ka pukaʻana o ka lā i laila, ua hewa nā hewa a pau i hanaʻia ma mua.
Inā makemakeʻoe e piʻi, ponoʻoe eʻike pono i kahi o ka mauna o Mose. Eia kekahi,ʻaʻole i loko o ka puke hemolele kahi pane pololei i kēia nīnau. Aia ka wahi kaulana ma waenakonu o ke Kulanui Sinai ma kekahi wahi i haʻalele waleʻia a he mau inoa: Mount Sinai, Mount Moses, Jabal-Musa, Paran. He mea maʻalahi loa ka heleʻana i kahi wahi i mālamaʻia mai ka palenaʻo Sharm el-Sheikh , kahi e hele mau ai i ka maunaʻo Mose.
Nā mea e piʻi ai ka mauna o Mose maʻAigupita
ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka maunaʻo Mose iʻAigupita he 2,285 mau mika ma mua aʻe o ke kai. I kēia manawa, i kahi kūlana maikaʻi loa, ua mālamaʻia nā paepae, i kūkuluʻia i nā hanana he nui i hala aku nei, a ua piʻi nā mōneka kahiko i luna o ka mauna. ʻO kahi haʻahaʻa aʻaʻole mālamaʻiaʻo "The Staircase of Repentance" e 3750 mauʻanuʻu pōhaku. Akā hiki i ka poʻe malihini a me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ke piʻi i ka mauna o Mose, ma ke ala maʻalahi, e hele ana ma luna o ia mea a iʻole e holo ana i kahi puhi lio - he kāmelo lio hoʻokahi. Akā ma kēiaʻano,ʻo kahi o ke ala - nā 750 mau hope loa, pono e lanakila ma ka wāwae.
ʻO kekahi kumu o ka piʻiʻana i ka pō, iʻole eʻikeʻia kekahi mea ma ka lōʻihi o ka lima. A inā piʻi ka piʻiʻana i kahi kiʻekiʻe wela o ka lewa (hoʻonāukiuki ka honua mai ka lā wela), i ka pōʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke hana me kahi pale pale mahana e pale ana mai ka makani makani a me ke anuanu weliweli. ʻOiaiʻo ka kiʻekiʻe o ke kuahiwi heʻuʻuku,ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i nā pō pōkole. Ke kākoʻo mākou i nā mea kau wela me nā mea inu wela a me kekahi mau mea kalole kalo, kahi mea e mālama ai i ka ikaika ma ke kino. Ponoʻoe i ka hana o ka ho'ōla houʻana e hoʻohana i nā pono pono a mālama pū me kāu hui, no ka mea he maʻalahi ka naloʻana ma ke ala: hiki i kahi haneli mau pilikino e hāpai i ka manawa hoʻokahi.
Ke kali nei ka maka e hikiʻole ke hoʻomanaʻoʻia e ka poʻe i piʻi i luna o luna: nā mauna mauna, i penaʻia i nā leoʻulaʻulaʻulaʻula; nā kūkā o ke ao i kauʻia ma luna o nā piko o nā mauna; he'ōlaʻi'ōpili i luna o nā poʻo o nā kānaka. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi i piʻi i ka maunaʻo Mose,'ōlelo lākou i nā kukuna mua o ka lā, e hoʻokuʻu aku i ka luhi a me ka pilikia e ulu i ka piʻiʻana. Hele wikiwiki ka hala, akā he nui nā mea ma hope o ka hiamoe hiamoeʻole o ka hiamoe.
Nā Nānāʻana o ka mauna Sinai
Ka Monastery o Saint Catherine
Ua hanaʻiaʻo Cana Catherine ma lalo o ka mauna Sinai i ka makahiki 4 o AD no ka hōʻoleʻana e haʻalele i ke Kristiano. Ma kahi wahi hoʻokipa, ma ke kauoha a ka Emperor Justinian the Great, ua kūkuluʻia he monastery ma ka kenekulia 6, i kapaʻia ma hope o ka haipule Karistiano. Bells no ka moʻolelo kahiko, i hoʻounaʻia ma keʻano he makana na ka Lūkiniʻo Emperor Alexander II. Ma ka'āpana o ka hale mōnekaʻo ke ahi puhi, kahi e like me ka moʻolelo, uaʻikea ka Haku iā Mose. Ma kahi kokoke i ka ululāʻau ahi, hiki iāʻoe ke hūnā i kahi leka me kahi makemake hūnā, a pono e hoʻokōʻia. ʻO kekahi mea'ē aʻe kahi maikaʻi o Mose, nona ka makahiki he 3500 mau makahiki. E like me ka moolelo, koho ke Akua ia ia iho mai ia mea.

Ka Halepule o ke Keʻa Hemolele
ʻO ka halepule ka mea kākau kiʻi mua o ka mauna pilikino. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua mālamaʻoleʻia ka hale, ua hoʻohanaʻia kekahi o nā pōhaku i ke kūkuluʻiaʻana o ke kauhale ma ka'āina o ka hale mōneka.
