²“The Lord came from Mount Sinai
    and dawned upon us^[a] from Mount Seir;
he shone forth from Mount Paran
    and came from Meribah-kadesh
    with flaming fire at his right hand.^[b]
³Indeed, he loves his people;^[c]
    all his holy ones are in his hands.
They follow in his steps
    and accept his teaching.
⁴Moses gave us the Lord’s instruction,
    the special possession of the people of Israel.^[d]
