Was Israel not able to bear the command not to touch Mount Sanai? ~ Cross reference of Hebrews 12:20 to Exodus 19:12
Hebrews 12 says that Israel could not endure the command that G-d gave that no man or beast should touch or come close to the mountain when G-d's glory descended on mount Sanai. Not sure what he means by this. The command from G-d was that no man or beast should come close to the mountain and if someone does come, he must be stoned. The command was clear and Moses communicated the command to the people and there were markers made to let the people know they should not come close to the mountain. If you read verse 21-25 G-d repeats the command and when Moses tells G-d that it will not happen, G-d actually insists to go down and make double sure it does not happen.
