Commentary on Deuteronomy 33:2
Theological / DevotionalFrom Sinai. The divine glory manifested on the occasion of the promulgation of the law (Exodus 19, 20) is pictured here as being reflected brilliantly from the peaks and slopes of the neighboring hills.
With ten thousands of saints. Literally, “from myriads of holy ones,” that is, from His dwelling place in heaven with its countless holy beings, where He sits enthroned in glory (see 1 Kings 22:19; Job 1:6; Psalm 89:7; Daniel 7:10). The preposition “with” is not an accurate rendition of the Hebrew. The picture is one of the celestial regions, where heavenly creatures await God’s pleasure (see Genesis 28:12; 32:2, 3; Psalm 103:21).
A fiery law. Compare Exodus 19:16, 18. Perhaps a clearer translation would be, “at his right was a burning fire for them,” suggesting the presence of the heavenly creatures (see Galatians 3:19).
