SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:28
El que menospreciare la ley de Moiss, por el testimonio de dos o de tres testigos muere sin ninguna misericordia.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 10:28
Verse 28. He that despised Moses' law] aqethsav? He that rejected it, threw it aside, and denied its Divine authority by presumptuous sinning, died without mercy - without any extenuation or mitigation of punishment; Num. xv. 30. Under two or three witnesses] That is, when convicted by the testimony of two or three respectable witnesses. See Deuteronomy xvii. 6.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. He that despised Moses' law , etc..] By breaking it wilfully, and presumptuously, for which there was no sacrifice; meaning the law which Moses was the minister of not the author; and it respects the whole body of laws given by him, from God; and is instanced in for the sake of the comparison between him and Christ, and between the law and the Gospel, and for the illustration of the case in hand. Now one that transgressed that law, either in whole, or in part, by denying it entirely, or by breaking any particular precept of it presumptuously, died without mercy ; a corporeal death; there was no atonement nor sacrifice for him, nor pity to be shown him, ( Deuteronomy 13:8 19:13). Under two or three witnesses ; who stood by, or were present, as the Arabic version renders it, when the transgression was committed; or that accused him, as the Ethiopic version; that were witnesses against him, and plainly and fully proved the fact, ( Deuteronomy 17:6 19:15).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-31 - The exhortations against apostacy and to perseverance, are urged by many strong reasons. The sin here mentioned is a total and fina falling away, when men, with a full and fixed will and resolution despise and reject Christ, the only Saviour; despise and resist the Spirit, the only Sanctifier; and despise and renounce the gospel, the only way of salvation, and the words of eternal life. Of thi destruction God gives some notorious sinners, while on earth, a fearfu foreboding in their consciences, with despair of being able to endur or to escape it. But what punishment can be sorer than to die withou mercy? We answer, to die by mercy, by the mercy and grace which the have despised. How dreadful is the case, when not only the justice of God, but his abused grace and mercy call for vengeance! All this doe not in the least mean that any souls who sorrow for sin will be shu out from mercy, or that any will be refused the benefit of Christ' sacrifice, who are willing to accept these blessings. Him that comet unto Christ, he will in no wise cast out.
