Judges 5:5

flowed down streamed, Isaiah 64:1; the verb as in Isaiah 45:8; Job 36:28. The Hebr. form also allows the rendering quakedmarg., LXX, from a different root.

Even yon Sinai at the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel yon Sinai, pointing to the mountain, which however is not visible from the Great Plain. The mention of Sinai after the Theophany has advanced from Edom northwards introduces confusion, and the words lit. mean this is Sinai. They are probably a marginal gloss made by some early reader to whom the expressions in Judges 5:4 suggested the descent of Jehovah upon Sinai for the giving of the law, Exodus 19:18 ff., which is not referred to here. From the margin the words found their way into the text. They spoil the rhythm of the line.
