Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) There is no sufficient reason for enclosing this verse and the next in a parenthesis.And if so much as.--Better, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned (Exodus 19:12-13). The next clause, "or thrust through with a dart," is absent from our best authorities; and has accidentally found its way into the text from Exodus 19:13.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekForγὰρ (gar)ConjunctionStrong's 1063: For.
