Greetings Michael Draves, Habakkuk 3:3 "God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of His praise." [NASB] Here is a bit of commentary on this verse: "3:3 God comes. When celebrating the exodus, the OT poets (and poet-prophets) combined recollections of the mighty acts of God with conventional images of a fearsome manifestation of the Lord. He came down with His heavenly host and rode on the mighty thunderstorm as His chariot, with His arrows flying in all directions, a cloudburst of rain descending on the earth and the mountains quaking before Him (see Deut. 33:2; Judg. 5:4-5; Ps. 18:7-15; 68:4-10, 32-35; 77:16-19; Mic. 1:3-4). Such figures characterize many of the references in the following verses. Teman. Means "southland." God is pictured as coming from the area south of Judah during the exodus." (1) "3:3 Teman is a poetic reference to God's appearance at Sinai (see Deut. 33:2). .." (2) "3:3 Teman ... Mount Paran. Teman, named after a grandson of Esau, was an Edomite city (Amos 1:12; Obadiah 9). Mount Paran was located in the Sinai peninsula. Both allude to the theater in which God displayed great power when He brought Israel into the land of Canaan (cf. Deut. 33:2; Judg. 5:4)."
