A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Invitation to her to leave the border mountains (the highest worldly elevation) between the hostile lands north of Palestine and the Promised Land (Psa 45:10; Phi 3:13).

Amana--south of Anti-Libanus; the river Abana, or Amana, was near Damascus (Kg2 5:12).

Shenir--The whole mountain was called Hermon; the part held by the Sidonians was called Sirion; the part held by the Amorites, Shenir (Deu 3:9). Infested by the devouring lion and the stealthy and swift leopard (Psa 76:4; Eph 6:11; Pe1 5:8). Contrasted with the mountain of myrrh, &c. (Sol 4:6; Isa 2:2); the good land (Isa 35:9).

with me--twice repeated emphatically. The presence of Jesus Christ makes up for the absence of all besides (Luk 18:29-30; Co2 6:10). Moses was permitted to see Canaan from Pisgah; Peter, James, and John had a foretaste of glory on the mount of transfiguration.
