Clarke's Exodus 19:13 Bible Commentary
There shall not a hand touch it - בו bo, Him, not the mountain, but the man who had presumed to touch the mountain. He should be considered altogether as an unclean and accursed thing, not to be touched for fear of conveying defilement; but should be immediately stoned or pierced through with a dart, Hebrews 12:20.
Barnes's Exodus 19:13 Bible Commentary
Touch it - Rather "touch him." The person who had touched the mount was not to be touched, since the contact would be pollution.
Wesley's Exodus 19:13 Bible Commentary
19:13 When the trumpet soundeth long - Then let them take their places at the foot of the mount. Never was so great a congregation called together and preached to at once as this was here. No one man's voice could have reached so many, but the voice of God did.
