(ian 4/24) David, why don't you get your Bible maps out, the best one(s)
you have and see where Mosera could possibly have been. Certainly it
could not have been in any of the named wilderness areas - or the
named plains. How much area is left? I don't know myself and I don't
have a good Bible map. But I'm going down to the library today so I'll
see what I can come up with. Also, check the mileages. I think the Sinai
P. is less than 200 miles along the Mediteranean and about 200 miles
from the Mediteranian to the tip - a triangular piece of real estate.
And if you aren't going to answer my posting, please tell me.
