2 He said, 1"The LORD came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us;[a] he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came 2from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire[b] at his right hand.
3 Yes, 3he loved his people,[c] 4all his holy ones were in his[d] hand; 5so they followed[e] in your steps, receiving direction from you,
4 when 6Moses commanded us a law, as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
