A Historical Review

The Lord came from Sinai

and revealed himself 2  to Israel 3  from Seir.

He appeared in splendor 4  from Mount Paran,

and came forth with ten thousand holy ones. 5 

With his right hand he gave a fiery law 6  to them.

[12:26]  1 tc Again, to complete a commonly attested wording the LXX adds after “choose” the phrase “to place his name there.” This shows insensitivity to deliberate departures from literary stereotypes. The MT reading is to be preferred.

[33:2]  2 tn Or “rose like the sun” (NCV, TEV).

[33:2]  3 tc Heb “to him.” The LXX reads “to us” (לָנוּ [lanu] for לָמוֹ [lamo]), the reading of the MT is acceptable since it no doubt has in mind Israel as a collective singular.

[33:2]  4 tn Or “he shone forth” (NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[33:2]  5 tc With slight alteration (מִמְרִבַת קָדֵשׁ [mimrivat qadesh] for the MT’s מֵרִבְבֹת קֹדֶשׁ [merivvot qodesh]) the translation would be “from Meribah Kadesh” (cf. NAB, NLT; see Deut 32:51). However, the language of holy war in the immediate context favors the reading of the MT, which views the Lord as accompanied by angelic hosts.

[33:2]  6 tc The mispointed Hebrew term אֵשְׁדָּת (’eshdat) should perhaps be construed as אֵשְׁהַת (’eshhat) with Smr.
