“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.”
The LORD came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran. With him were myriads of holy ones; at his right hand were his own, a host of them — theophany language: God approaches ('ba YHVH mi-Sinai'). Sinai, Seir, Paran mark the mountain route. 'Myriads of holy ones' ('ribbot kodesh'): divine council accompanies. Covenant is God's glory.
