‏ Hebrews 12:19

 Unto blackness ( γνοφω ). Dative case of  γνοφος (late form for earlier  δνοφος and kin to  νεφος, cloud), here only in N.T. Quoted here from Ex 10:22.

 Darkness ( ζοφω ). Old word, in Homer for the gloom of the world below. In the Symmachus Version of Ex 10:22, also in Jude 1:6; 2Pe 2:4, 15.

 Tempest ( θυελλη ). Old word from  θυω (to boil, to rage), a hurricane, here only in N.T. From Ex 10:22.

 The sound of a trumpet ( σαλπιγγος ηχω ). From Ex 19:16.  Εχος is an old word (our  εχο ) as in Lu 21:25; Ac 2:2.

 The voice of words ( φωνη ρηματων ). From Ex 19:19; De 4:12.

 Which voice ( ης ). Relative referring to  φωνη (voice) just before, genitive case with  ακουσαντες (heard, aorist active participle).

 Intreated ( παρηιτησαντο ). First aorist middle (indirect) indicative of  παραιτεομα, old verb, to ask from alongside (Mr 15:6), then to beg away from oneself, to depreciate as here, to decline (Ac 25:11), to excuse (Lu 14:18), to avoid (1Ti 4:7).

 That no word should be spoken unto them ( προστεθηνα αυτοις λογον ). First aorist passive infinitive of  προστιθημ, old word to add, here with accusative of general reference ( λογον ), "that no word be added unto them." Some MSS. have here a redundant negative  μη with the infinitive because of the negative idea in  παρηιτησαντο as in Ga 5:7.
