"Where did Moses receive the Ten Commandments?" (Alleged Contradiction #E4794)
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 31:18
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
II Chronicles 5:10
Response
Horeb was the name of the area; Sinai was the name of the mount.
Another possibility is that Horeb is another name for Sinai. 1
