Judges 5:4-5

4 “O Lord, when you departed ^{▼▼tn Or “went out.”} from Seir,
when you marched from Edom’s plains,
the earth shook, the heavens poured down,
the clouds poured down rain. ^{▼▼tn Heb “water.”}
5 The mountains trembled ^{▼▼tn Or “quaked.” The translation assumes the form נָזֹלּוּ (nazollu) from the root זָלַל (zalal, “to quake”; see HALOT 272 s.v. II זלל). The LXX, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Targum also understood the word this way. (See Isa 63:19 and 64:2 for other occurrences of this form.) Some understand here the verb נָזַל (nazal, “to flow [with torrents of rain water]”).} before the Lord, the God of Sinai; ^{▼▼tn Heb “this one of Sinai.” The phrase is a divine title, perhaps indicating that the Lord rules from Sinai.}
before the Lord God of Israel.
