قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

طور سینا؛ رویشگاه درخت زیتون

طور سینا همان کوه طور است که در صحرای سینا قرار دارد. اگر می‌بینیم قرآن در اینجا درخت زیتون را درختی نامیده که از کوه طور می‌رویدء به خاطر این است که عرب‌های حجاز هنگامی که از بیابان‌های خشک این منطقه می‌گذشتند و به شمال رو می‌آوردند» نخستین منطقه‌ای که در آن به درخت‌های پربار زیتون برخورد می‌کردند.ء منطقةٌ طور در جنوب صحرای سینا بود. مشاهدةٌ نقشة جغرافیایی» این مطلب را به خوبی روشن می‌کند.
