“Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.”
'LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water. — The recitation of God's theophanic appearance 'from Seir' and the region of 'Edom' (southeastern territories) invokes the Sinai theophany tradition, suggesting that God's presence in the Deborah victory paralleled the Exodus deliverance. The description 'the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water' employs cosmological language suggesting extraordinary natural phenomena.
