Mazmur 114:4

114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs. ¹ 

Mazmur 29:6

29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion ²  like a young ox. ³ 

[114:4]  ¹ sn The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. This may recall the theophany at Sinai when the mountain shook before God’s presence (Exod 19:18).

[29:6]  ² sn Sirion is another name for Mount Hermon (Deut 3:9).

[29:6]  ³ sn Lebanon and Sirion are compared to frisky young animals (a calf…a young ox) who skip and jump. The thunderous shout of the Lord is so powerful, one can see the very mountains shake on the horizon.
