Footnotes

  1. dOr “And”
  2. eThis pointing of the MT is very difficult; here HALOT 93 suggests “fire a law for them” as a translation of the compound Hebrew word made up of “fire” + “law,” which I render as “a fiery law”
  3. fOr “Indeed”
  4. gLiterally “a lover of peoples”
  5. hOr “at”
  6. iLiterally “he takes up from your words”

and dawned from Seir upon us;

he shone forth from Mount Paran;

with flaming fire at his right hand.

all his holy ones were in his hand;

so they followed in your steps,

receiving direction from you,

“The Lord came from Sinai

and dawned over them from Seir;

he shone forth from Mount Paran.

He came with myriads of holy ones

from the south, from his mountain slopes.

Surely it is you who love the people;

all the holy ones are in your hand.

At your feet they all bow down,

and from you receive instruction,

The Lord came from Sinai

and appeared to them from Seir;

All your holy ones are in your hand,

and they assemble at your feet.

Each receives your words.

all his holy ones are in his hands.

They follow in his steps

and accept his teaching.

And he said, The Lord came from Sinai,

And rose up from Seir unto them;

He shined forth from mount Paran,

And he came with ten thousands of saints:

From his right hand went a fiery law for them.

Yea, he loved the people;

All his saints are in thy hand:

And they sat down at thy feet;

Every one shall receive of thy words.
