The full interdict in Exodus 19:12 Exodus 19:13 is abbreviated here; the beast alone, being put for "whether man or beast"; the stoning, which applies to the human offender, alone being specified, the beast's punishment, namely, the being thrust through with a dart, being left to be understood. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-21" class="com-number"
