Mat 23:4 | JFB | STEP | 4. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them-- "touch them not" ( ). with one of their fingers-- referring not so much to the irksomeness of the legal rites, though they were irksome enough ( ), as to the heartless rigor with which they were enforced, and by men of shameless inconsistency.
