Hebrews 12:20
_ _ that which was commanded — “the interdict” [Tittmann]. A stern interdictory mandate is meant.
_ _ And — rather, “Even if a beast (much more a man) touch,” etc.
_ _ or thrust through with a dart — omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The full interdict in Exodus 19:12, Exodus 19:13 is abbreviated here; the beast alone, being put for “whether man or beast”; the stoning, which applies to the human offender, alone being specified, the beast’s punishment, namely, the being thrust through with a dart, being left to be understood. |
Hebrews 12:20
For they could not bear — The terror which seized them, when they heard those words proclaimed, If even a beast, &c. Exodus 19:12, &c. |
- For they:
Deuteronomy 33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.
Romans 3:19-20 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. ... Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Exodus 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
Exodus 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled.
