‏ Hebrews 12:18

 Ye are not come ( ου προσεληλυθατε ). Perfect active indicative of  προσερχομα. There is no word here in the Greek for "a mount" like  ορε in verses 20, 22 (and Ex 19:12f.; De 4:11), but it is clearly understood since the dative participles agree with it unless they be taken as descriptive of  πυρ ("a palpable and kindled fire " when  πυρ would be the dative case after  προσεληλυθατε ).

 That might be touched ( ψηλαφωμενω ). Present passive participle (dative case) of  ψηλαφαω, old verb to handle, to touch (Lu 24:39).

 That burned with fire ( κεκαυμενω πυρ ). Perfect passive participle of  καιω, old verb to burn, with instrumental case  πυρ (fire), unless the other view (above) is correct.
