Verses 18-24

The writer proceeded to reiterate the superiority of the New Covenant by comparing it with the Old Covenant, using the figure of two mountains: Sinai and Zion.
"As vv.14-17 recall the first warning of 64-8, so he [the writer] now proceeds to reiterate the second warning of 1026-31, reminding his readers that they stand in a critical position, in which any indifferences or disobedience to God will prove fatal." [Note: Moffatt, pp. 213-14.]
