aThis is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
bYou have led captivity captive;
cYou have received gifts among men,
Even from dthe rebellious,
eThat the Lord God might dwell there.

Psalms 68:17
The chariots of God are twenty thousand - ribbothayim alpey shinan , "two myriads of thousands doubled." Does not this mean simply forty thousand? A myriad is 10,000; two myriads, 20,000; these doubled, 40,000. Or thus: 10,000 + 10,000 + 20,000 = 40,000. The Targum says, "The chariots of God are two myriads; two thousand angels draw them; the majesty of God rests upon them in holiness on Mount Sinai." But what does this mean? We must die to know.
