William Smith's comment on 2014-12-03 11:48:44:

Teman from the Hebrew "tay mawn " 8487 God 's glory and brightness is ween coming from the south on the right hand of a person facing east. cf. Heb 8486. This seems to be indicating that the prophet Habakkuk is seeing or God 's glory and light could be seen as coming from the southerly direction of where Mt. Paran was located. at least maybe so in this one instance if not continually the English word Teman as Habakkuk is interpreting it to be apparently has to do with the direction from whence comes God 's bright light is coming.
