Hebrews 12:22

But (alla). Sharp contrast to verse Hebrews 12:18 with same form proselhluqate.

Unto Mount Zion (Siwn orei). Dative case of orov, as with the other substantives. In contrast to Mount Sinai (verses Hebrews 12:18-21). Paul has contrasted Mount Sinai (present Jerusalem) with the Jerusalem above (heaven) in Galatians 4:21-31.

City (polei). As in Hebrews 11:10, Hebrews 11:16. Heaven is termed thus a spiritual mountain and city.

The heavenly Jerusalem (Ierousalem epouraniw). See Hebrews 11:10, Hebrews 11:16; Isaiah 60:14.

Innumerable hosts of angels (muriasin aggelwn). "Myriads of angels." Muriav is an old word (from muriov, I Corinthians 4:15) as in Luke 12:1.
