Commentary on Exodus 19:21

Theological / Devotional

Charge the people. In the closing verses of this chapter the people and the priests are again warned not to pass the “bounds.” This repetition would suggest that there were those who had not taken the restriction seriously, but were ready to “break through” the “bounds” to peer irreverently upon the glory of God (see Num. 4:20; 1 Sam. 6:19; 2 Sam. 6:6, 7).
