8798. 'Let no hand touch it' means those who have enough arrogant self-confidence to force their way through. This is clear from the meaning of 'touching' - touching the mountain - as forcing one's way through to Divine celestial good, dealt with immediately above in 8797; and from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, from which also arrogant self-confidence is meant, 878, 5544.
