Rotherham(i)
18 For ye have not approached––unto, a searching and scorching fire, and gloom, and mist, and tempest,
19 And a trumpets peal,––and a sound of things spoken:––from which they who heard excused themselves, lest there should be added to them, a word;
20 For they could not bear, that which was being enjoined,––and, should a beast be touching the mountain, it shall be stoned;
21 And, so fearful was that which was showing itself, Moses, said––I am terrified, and do tremble!
22 But ye have approached––unto Zion’s mountain, and unto the city of a Living God, a heavenly Jerusalem,––and unto myriads of messengers,
23 in high festival,––and unto an assembly of firstborn ones, enrolled in the heavens,––and unto God, judge of all,––and unto the spirits of righteous ones made perfect,––
24 And unto the mediator of a new covenant, Jesus,––and unto the blood of sprinkling, more excellently speaking, than, Abel.
25 Beware, lest ye excuse yourselves from him that speaketh; for, if, they escaped not, who excused themselves from him who on earth was warning, how much less, shall, we, who from him that warneth from the heavens, do turn ourselves away:
