   (In the Order Believed Written)

15 - See to it that none fail to obtain the grace of God, so no sort of bitterness will spring up and cause trouble. For by it many can become corrupted. 16 No one should be sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal! 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he couldn’t, for he found no chance to change the past, though he looked for it with tears. {“The” blessing had been given to another, couldn’t be now taken back.}

     18 But you (under the New Testament agreement/contract that is signed in blood - because it has to reach eveRy psyche) you have not come to a mountain that cannot be touched for it is burning with fiery flames, to darkness, gloom and stormy tempest, 19 with the sound of a trumpet and a voice and words that made the listeners beg that no further word be spoken to them. 20 For they couldn’t endure it, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” {Thermonuclear type contagion?} 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I am in terrible fear!” 22 But you - You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and myriads of angels. 23 To the festal gathering and assembly/crowd of the firstborn being enrolled in heaven, and to God judge of all and all the  spirits of the righteous being perfected, 24 and to Jesus, mediator of the new covenant, and the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than the blood of Abel. {Which cried out to God.. for response, as it should. Which is the first truth proving covenant, that brought us to court. But the cross pardons - paid in full. Yet we learn the crime was not acceptable, can never work. ..Paradise/perfection, and humanity, God’s family, is being built to endure. And imperfection is entropy, a living crucible.}
