1 On that day D'vorah and Barak the son of Avino‘am sang this song: 2 "When leaders in Isra'el dedicate themselves, and the people volunteer, you should all bless Adonai . 3 Hear, kings; listen, princes; I will sing to Adonai ! I will sing praise to Adonai the God of Isra'el. 4 " Adonai , when you went out from Se‘ir, when you marched out from the field of Edom; the earth quaked, and the sky shook; yes, the clouds poured down torrents. 5 The mountains melted at the presence of Adonai , at Sinai, before Adonai the God of Isra'el.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The mountains melted from before the Lord,.... The inhabitants of them, through fear, the Lord going before Israel in a pillar of cloud and fire, and delivering mighty kings and their kingdoms into their hand:

[even] that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel; or, "as that Sinai", the note of similitude being wanting; and the sense is, the mountains melted, just as the famous mountain Sinai in a literal sense did, when it trembled and quaked at the presence of God on it; the tokens of it, the fire and smoke, thunders, lightnings, and tempests there seen and heard; and which being observed, would call to mind the benefit Israel then received, which required praise and thankfulness, as well as would serve to express the awe and reverence of God due unto him.
