Habakkuk 3:3

"God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens. And the earth was full of his praise."

Here begins Habakkuk's enumeration of a number of mighty actions of God in his dealings with Israel. There is no indication in these words that God, in any sense, dwelt on Mount Paran (as did the Greek Zeus on Olympus). What is indicated is that in the entire district bordered by Teman (Edom) and Paran, God's hand had been very visible in his dealings,with Israel. "It was in this area that Israel experienced the redemptive grace of God, entered into covenant relationship with him; and it was also in these districts that some of the unbelieving generation perished."[12]

"His glory covered the heavens ..." "Deuteronomy 33:2 recounts the splendour of the divine appearance spread over Teman and the mountains of Paran." [14]

"Selah ..." "This forms no part of the text,"[15] but was some kind of signal to the singers when the chapter was being used in the temple services. It is not known exactly what it means, but probably some kind of pause, change of tempo, period of silence, or something similar.
