# they might break out

God spoke about people walking past the boundary ([Exodus 19:12](../19/12.md)) as if they were breaking through a fence and walking through it. See how you translated "set boundaries" in [Exodus 19:12](../19/12.md). Alternate translation: "they might go beyond the boundary" or "they might go through the barrier"(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
