hebrews 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

hebrews 12:20 For they could not bear the command, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned."

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," &c.
or thrust through with a dart--omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The full interdict in Ex 19:12, 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 command, "If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned."
