The Bible tells us that after the Israelites crossed the sea and escaped from Egypt, they entered a place called the "Wilderness of Sin." This place had nothing directly to do with that concept of wrongdoing or transgression that in English we call sin. Rather, Sin was the Babylonian god of the moon, one of the chief gods of the nomadic people who lived in the region. Freedom has a price, and now, like the nomads in Sin, the Hebrew people were wandering nomads, traveling through life as people with no place to call home.
