SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:12
Y señalarás término al pueblo en derredor, diciendo: Guardaos, no subáis al monte, ni toquéis a su término; cualquiera que tocare el monte, de seguro morirá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:12
Verse 12. Thou shalt set bounds] Whether this was a line marked out on the ground, beyond which they were not to go, or whether a fence was actually made to keep them off, we cannot tell; or whether this fence was made all round the mountain, or only at that part to which one wing of the camp extended, is not evident. This verse strictly forbids the people from coming near and touching Mount Sinai, which was burning with FIRE. The words therefore in ver. 15, ha la wgt la al tiggeshu el ishshah, come not at your wives, seem rather to mean, come not near unto the FIRE; especially as the other phrase is not at all probable: but the fire is, on this occasion, spoken of so emphatically (see Deut. v. 4, 5, 22-25) that we are naturally led to consider ha ishshah here as ah ha-esh transposed, or to say, with Simon in his Lexicon, ha faem, idem quod masc. a ignis. So among other instances, we have rba and hrba a wing; rwa and hrwa light; Åma and hxma strength; and rma and hrma a speech. - Burt. See KENNICOTT'S Remarks.
Whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death] The place was awfully sacred, because the dreadful majesty of God was displayed on it. And this taught them that God is a consuming fire, and that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-15 - The solemn manner in which the law was delivered, was to impress the people with a right sense of the Divine majesty. Also to convince the of their own guilt, and to show that they could not stand in judgmen before God by their own obedience. In the law, the sinner discover what he ought to be, what he is, and what he wants. There he learns the nature, necessity, and glory of redemption, and of being made holy Having been taught to flee to Christ, and to love him, the law is the rule of his obedience and faith.
