Deuteronomy 33:2-4
_ _ The Lord came — Under a beautiful metaphor, borrowed from the dawn and progressive splendor of the sun, the Majesty of God is sublimely described as a divine light which appeared in Sinai and scattered its beams on all the adjoining region in directing Israel’s march to Canaan. In these descriptions of a theophania, God is represented as coming from the south, and the allusion is in general to the thunderings and lightnings of Sinai; but other mountains in the same direction are mentioned with it. The location of Seir was on the east of the Ghor; mount Paran was either the chain on the west of the Ghor, or rather the mountains on the southern border of the desert towards the peninsula [Robinson]. (Compare Judges 5:4, Judges 5:5; Psalms 68:7, Psalms 68:8; Habakkuk 3:3).
_ _ ten thousands of saints — rendered by some, “with the ten thousand of Kadesh,” or perhaps better still, “from Meribah” [Ewald].
_ _ a fiery law — so called both because of the thunder and lightning which accompanied its promulgation (Exodus 19:16-18; Deuteronomy 4:11), and the fierce, unrelenting curse denounced against the violation of its precepts (2 Corinthians 3:7-9). Notwithstanding those awe-inspiring symbols of Majesty that were displayed on Sinai, the law was really given in kindness and love (Deuteronomy 33:3), as a means of promoting both the temporal and eternal welfare of the people. And it was “the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob,” not only from the hereditary obligation under which that people were laid to observe it, but from its being the grand distinction, the peculiar privilege of the nation. |
Deuteronomy 33:2
The Lord came — Namely, to the Israelites, manifested himself graciously and gloriously among them. From Sinai — Beginning at Sinai, where the first appearance of God was, and so going on with them to Seir and Paran. And rose up — He appeared or shewed himself, as the sun doth when it riseth. From Seir — From the mountain or land of Edom, to which place the Israelites came, Numbers 20:14, &c. and from thence God led them on towards the land of promise, and then gloriously appeared for them in subduing Sihon and Og before them. But because the land of Edom is sometimes taken more largely, and so reacheth even to the Red — sea, and therefore mount Sinai was near to it, and because Paran was also near Sinai, being the next station into which they came from the wilderness of Sinai: all this verse may belong to God's appearance in mount Sinai, where that glorious light which shone upon mount Sinai directly, did in all probability scatter its beams into adjacent parts, such as Seir and Paran were. And if so, this is only a poetical expression of the same thing in divers words, and God coming or rising or shining from or to or in Sinai and Seir and Paran note one and the same illustrious action of God appearing there with ten thousands of his saints or holy angels, and giving a fiery law to them. Paran — A place where God eminently manifested his presence and goodness both in giving the people flesh which they desired, and in appointing the seventy elders and pouring forth his spirit upon them. With ten thousands of saints — That is, with a great company of holy angels, Psalms 68:17; Daniel 7:10, which attended upon him in this great and glorious work of giving the law, as may be gathered from Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19. From his right hand — Which both wrote the law and gave it to men. An allusion to men who ordinarily write and give gifts with their right hand. A fiery law — The law is called fiery, because it is of a fiery nature purging and searching and inflaming, to signify that fiery wrath which it inflicteth upon sinners for the violation of it, and principally because it was delivered out of the midst of the fire. |
Deuteronomy 33:2
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 (b) thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.

Judges 5:4-5 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. ... The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
