# General Information:

Deborah and Barak's song continues using poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-poetry]])

# The mountains quaked

This probably refers to earthquakes and gives the impression that the mountains quaked because they were very afraid of Yahweh. Alternate translation: "The mountains trembled in fear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# before the face of Yahweh

Here "face" refers Yahweh's presence. Alternate translation: "in the presence of Yahweh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# even Mount Sinai quaked

When Moses and Israel were at Mount Sinai, it quaked. Alternate translation: "long ago, even Mount Sinai quaked" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
