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 19:12-13 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.
