Commentary on Psalms 68:17
Theological / DevotionalTwenty thousand. This expression may also be rendered “myriads.” The thought is that the angels form a numberless host.
Angels. Heb. shin’an, here conjecturally rendered “angels.” Most commentators consider shin’an to be derived from the root shanah, “to repeat,” and thus to mean “repetitions.” The word appears in Ugaritic as tnn, “warrior,” and should probably be so translated here. The reference would then be to the warriors of God, the angelic host, as in the KJV.
As in Sinai. God Himself, attended by the heavenly hosts, carrying with Him all the majesty and glory that were displayed at Sinai, is now established in Mt. Zion. What a glorious conclusion to the historic retrospect!
