Commentary on Psalms 68:8
Theological / DevotionalDropped. Usually taken from the Heb. nataph, “to drop,” “to drip.” However, it is probably derived from ṭapap, “to toss,” Arabic ṭaffa, “to flap the wings,” and Aramaic ṭpṭp, “to flicker.” In this way a perfect parallel to the first line is obtained. “The earth shook, the heavens tossed.”
Even Sinai. Although God’s presence was continually manifested during the long wilderness journey, His glorious majesty was especially shown at Sinai (see Ex. 19:16–18).
The Heb. zeh Sinay, usually rendered “this Sinai,” has been recognized by H. Grimme as an old title of Jehovah, and can be translated “the One of Sinai.”
