Oecumenius, on Heb 12:26

Oecumenius · c. A.D. 550
Heb 12:26 · Douay-Rheims
“Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also.”
On this verse:
“For on earth, it is said that Moses speaks. He says, This is the case: If the Jews, having rejected the message of Moses, did not escape destruction, how shall we escape if we reject the one who speaks from heaven, that is, Christ? Is it not because, while the law was given by another long ago, now another speaks, and calls to his kingdom and faith, but because he is more fearful now, speaking from heaven and by himself, than he was before, when he spoke from the earth through Moses, from whom he is more justly to be heard? That the former lawgiver is not different from the one speaking now, he himself makes clear by saying, "whose voice then shook the earth." When? He says, when he gave the law on Mount Sinai. "but now has promised, saying." Do you see that the same one is both then and now? But the difference is in the manner of his preaching. For then he proclaimed from the earth and through Moses, but now from heaven and through himself. "who turn away from the one from heaven." In common, that which is speaking, as in proclaiming.”
