²⁴ Yahweh said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but don't let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break forth on them."

¹² You shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, 'Be careful that you don't go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

¹⁸ For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, tempest,

¹⁹ the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

²⁰ for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned{TR adds "or shot with an arrow" [see Exodus 19:12-13]};"

²¹ and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."

²² But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,

²³ to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

²⁴ to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

²⁵ See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God,

²² let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

¹⁶ Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

²² But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

¹⁹ What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

¹¹ Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."

⁷ But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

⁸ won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?

⁹ For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

¹⁵ For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

²⁴ "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

¹² From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

⁹ Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹ He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

²¹ Yahweh said to Moses, "Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

²² Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them."

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.
