§ 36 The next thing which Moses did by the command of God after he returned from the Mount, was to set bounds unto it, and the people, that none of them might press to go up, until the Trumpet had done its long and last sounding, a sign of the departure of the presence of God, v. 12, 13. And thou shalt set bounds unto the People, round about, saying, take heed to your selves, that you go not up into the Mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the Mount shall be surely put to death: 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. The Law, the Sanction; and the duration of the obedience required, are here represented. The Law expresseth an evil prohibited both in it self, and in the end of it. The evil it self was, going up into, or so much as touching by any means the Mountain, or the border of it. The End wherefore this was prohibited was, that they might not gaze, v. 21. Charge the People lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze. The Sanction is death, enjoined from the hand of Men in these Verses, and threatened from the hand of Heaven, v. 21, 24. The continuance of the observance was until the Trumpet sounded long, or had done sounding, the sign of the departure of Gods special presence which made the place holy only during its continuance.
