A.D. 64.

And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Mases brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God an swered him by a voice, Exod. xix. 12-19. And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it they removed, and stood afar off, xx. 18. These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more: and he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me. And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the moun tain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders ; And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory, and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? Deut. v. 22-26. See also on Rom. vi. ver. 14. clauses 2, 3.

HEB. XII. 16-19.

and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright, Gen. xxv. 31-34.

VER. 17.

ἴστε γὰρ ὅτι καὶ μετέπειτα θέλων κληρονομῆσαι τὴν εὐλογίαν, ἀπεδοκιμάσθη μετανοίας γὰς τόπον οὐχ εὗρε, καίπερ μετὰ δακρύων ἐκζητήσας αὐτήν.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

*Or, way to change his mind.

a And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, Ŏ my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by the sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him Gen. xxvii. 38-41.

VER. 18.

Οὐ γὰρ προσεληλύθατε ψηλαφωμένῳ ὄρει καὶ κεκαυμένῳ πυρὶ, καὶ γνόφῳ, καὶ σκότῳ, καὶ θυέλλη,

a For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

a And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. And

Moses went down from the mount Καὶ σάλπιγγος ἤχῳ, καὶ φωνῇ ῥημάτων, unto the people, and sanctified the ἧς οἱ ἀκούσαντες παρητήσαντο μὴ προστε people ; and they washed their clothes. | Oñva, avroïç Aéyor.

a Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion, Psal. ii. 6. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King, xlviii. 2. For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell, for I have desired it, cxxxii. 13, 14. What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it, Isa. xiv. 32. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste, xxviii. 16. Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away, li. 11. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD, lix. 20. and Rom. xi. 26. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call, Joel ii. 32. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is mother of us all, Gal. iv. 26. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads, Rev. xiv. 1.

Now we know, that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin, Rom. iii. 19, 20.

b There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount, Exod. xix. 13.

Καὶ οὕτω φοβερὸν ἦν τὸ φανταζόμενον, Mwoñiç elmev “Expolós eius nai evrpomos) a And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

a And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn, Exod. iv. 22. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them : I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn, Jer. xxxi. 9. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures, Jam. i. 18. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb, Rev. xiv. 4.
