Hebrews 10:28

28. An argument from less, Moses, to greater, the Son.

Despised Nullified, reduced it to nothing. The illustration is taken from Deuteronomy 17:2-7, where it is enacted that if an Israelite “hath gone and served other gods,” as “sun or moon,” Israel should “stone them with stones,” as apostates from Jehovah, “at the mouth of two or three witnesses.” Such an apostate has not only sinned, but has wholly rejected Moses’s law.

Without mercy There was no expiating sacrifice, no executive pardon.
