Hebrews 10:28 - Exposition

One that hath despised (rather, set at naught ) Moses' Law dieth without mercy under ( i.e. at the word of) two or three witnesses. The reference is to Deuteronomy 17:2-7 , as shown by the mention of the "two or three witnesses" ( Deuteronomy 17:6 ). The sin there spoken of is that of one who "hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD , in transgressing his covenant, and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven." The significance of this in its bearing on the meaning of ἁμαρτανόντων in verse 26 has been already noted.
