Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Jdg 5:5 - Melted

Or, flowed, with floods of water powered out of the clouds upon them, and from them flowing down in a mighty stream upon the lower grounds, and carrying down part of the mountains with it.

Wesley: Jdg 5:5 - Sinai

She slides into the mention of a more ancient appearance of God for his people in Sinai; it being usual in scripture repetitions of former actions, to put divers together in a narrow compass. The sense is, No wonder that the mountains of the Amorites and Canaanites melted and trembled, when thou didst lead thy people toward them; for even Sinai itself could not bear thy presence, but melted in like manner before thee.

JFB: Jdg 5:4-5

Allusion is here made, in general terms, to God's interposition on behalf of His people.

JFB: Jdg 5:4-5 - Seir . . . the field of Edom

Represent the mountain range and plain extending along the south from the Dead Sea to the Elanitic Gulf.

JFB: Jdg 5:4-5 - thou wentest out

Indicates the storm to have proceeded from the south or southeast.

Poole: Jdg 5:5 - Melted

Melted or flowed , with floods of water poured out of the clouds upon them, and from them flowing down in a mighty stream upon the lower grounds, and carrying down some part of the mountain with it, as is usual in excessive showers.

She slides into the mention of another and a more ancient appearance of God for his people, to wit, in Sinai; it being usual in Scripture repetitions of former actions to put divers together into a narrow compass, and in few words. The sense is, No wonder that the mountains of the Amorites and Canaanites melted and trembled when thou didst lead thy people towards them; for even Sinai itself could not bear thy presence, but melted in like manner before thee. Or, as that Sinai did upon a like manifestation of thyself; so there is only a defect of the particle as , which I have showed to be frequent.

Gill: Jdg 5:5 - The mountains melted from before the Lord // even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel

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.
