LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

Commentary on Judges 5:4

Theological / Devotional

Seir. The mountainous region that extends from the east of the Dead Sea southward toward the Red Sea. The reference to this mountain seems to be with the object of showing God’s presence with the Israelites on their journey toward Canaan. This presence was manifested in miraculous ways; for example, in the supernatural supply of food and water, and in the presence of Christ in the pillar of fire and the cloud that accompanied them. The God who anciently had worked so wonderfully had again intervened and wrought marvelously for His people. In this instance Mt. Tabor, rather than Seir, had been the scene of His exploits.
