Dropped. The earthquake and rain are not mentioned by Moses. But the prophets often supply omissions. Debora and Habacuc speak in the same lofty strains, Exodus xix. 16., Judges v. 4., and Habacuc iii. 6. (Calmet) — Debora specifies some words, (Haydock) which seem to be here wanting, “the clouds also dropped water, the mountains melted” at, &c. — Of Sinai, or, “Sinai at,” &c. (Menochius) — Hebrew, “this Sinai before God, (Judges v. 5., Jehovah) the God of Israel.” The old manuscript 3 retains the word Jehovah at least six times, where it is not once printed, as that of Lambeth, 434, does here, &c. (Kennicott) — St. Augustine and the ancient psalters read, A facie Domini; Mons Sinai, &c. (Calmet) — The mount itself seemed to melt amid thunder and rain. (Haydock)
