希伯來書 12:20 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 12:20

For they could not endure that which was commanded
In the law; not that they disliked and despised the law, as unregenerate men do; but they could not endure it, or bear it, as a yoke, it being a yoke of bondage; nor as a covenant of works, it requiring perfect obedience, but giving no strength to perform; and as it showed them their sins, but did not direct them to a Saviour; as it was an accusing, cursing, and condemning law; and, as a fiery one, revealing wrath, and filling the conscience with it; unless this should have any respect to the following edict, more particularly:

and if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or
thrust through with a dart;
and, if a beast, much more a man: and, how easily, through inadvertence, might this be done? and how terrible was the punishment? nothing less than death, by stoning, or being shot: and this they could not bear to hear, or think of: the last clause, "or thrust through with a dart", is wanting in the Alexandrian and Beza's Claromontane copies, in the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; and yet is necessary to be retained, being in the original text, in ( Exodus 19:12 Exodus 19:13 ) .

希伯來書 12:20 In-Context

18 你 們 原 不 是 來 到 那 能 摸 的 山 ; 此 山 有 火 燄 、 密 雲 、 黑 暗 、 暴 風 、
19 角 聲 與 說 話 的 聲 音 。 那 些 聽 見 這 聲 音 的 , 都 求 不 要 再 向 他 們 說 話 ;
20 因 為 他 們 當 不 起 所 命 他 們 的 話 , 說 : 靠 近 這 山 的 , 即 便 是 走 獸 , 也 要 用 石 頭 打 死 。
21 所 見 的 極 其 可 怕 , 甚 至 摩 西 說 : 我 甚 是 恐 懼 戰 兢 。
22 你 們 乃 是 來 到 錫 安 山 , 永 生 神 的 城 邑 , 就 是 天 上 的 耶 路 撒 冷 。 那 裡 有 千 萬 的 天 使 ,
