18. For you have not come to a Har that can be touched and to a blazing Eish and to choshech and gloom and storm,
19. And to the blast of a shofar and the sound of dvarim, which sound was such that the ones having heard begged that no further dvar be spoken to them.
20. For they could not bear the mitzvah "If even a BEHEMAH" ("animal" SHEMOT 13:19) should touch the Har, the punishment will be seqilah (stoning).
21. And so fearful was the sight that Moshe Rabbeinu said "YAGORTI" ("I am afraid" Dt 9:19) and trembling,
22. But you have come to Mount Tziyon, that is, HaIr HaElohim Chayyim, to the Yerushalayim in Shomayim and to myriads of malachim in a knesset innumerable,
23. And to the Kehillat HaBechorim who are inscribed in Shomayim and to Hashem, the Shofet HaKol, and to the ruchot (spirits) of the tzaddikim made shleimim,
24. And to Yehoshua, the Metavekh of a Brit Chadasha and to the dahm hahazzayah (blood of sprinkling Isa 52:15), which speaks better than the dahm haHevel (blood of Abel).
