§ 38 The contexture of the words in our Translation seems to have some difficulty; Whosoever toucheth the Mount, v. 12, 13. there shall not an hand touch it. [Greek or Hebrew] it should seem that by it [Greek or Hebrew] the Mount it self is intended, and that the Law is reinforced in a particular caution, that so much as an hand should not touch the Mount. But it is far more probable that by, it, touch it, the Person, Man or Beast that touched the Mountain is intended. And the words declare the manner how the offender should be destroyed; being made Anathema devoted, accursed by his presumptuous sin, no man was to touch him, or to lay hand on him, to deliver him, lest he also contracted of his guilt. And this sense the ensuing words with the series of them evinceth. [Greek or Hebrew], that is, no hand shall touch it, either to save it, or to punish it, but stoning it shall be stoned, or thrusting through it shall be thrust through; whether Man or Beast, it shall not live. Let none think by laying hand on it to deliver it: whence Aquila renders [Greek or Hebrew] by [Greek or Hebrew], He shall be slain or destroyed cum impetu, & horrore, with force and terror, all being to cast stones at him, or to shoot him through with arrows, or thrust him through with darts. So Aben Ezra, [Greek or Hebrew]. The meaning is, Men shall not gather about him to take him, but those that see him, shall stone him from the place of their Station. And if he be afar off they shall shoot him through with arrows.
