Exodus 19:13

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, he shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount." — Exodus 19:13 (ASV)

Touch it — Rather “touch him.” The person who had touched the mount was not to be touched, since the contact would be pollution.
