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

¹⁸ You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest,

¹⁸ For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

¹⁸ Unlike your ancestors, you didn't come to Mount Sinai - all that volcanic blaze and earthshaking rumble -
