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.
