In Colossians 2:21, the second-person aorist active subjunctive occurs in a series of prohibitions; the APB renders the clause "Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch." In Hebrews 11:28 the third-person form describes the destroyer not reaching "them," while Hebrews 12:20 describes a beast making contact with the mountain; the APB renders both clauses with "touch."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with "touch" in all three verses. It frames contact as prohibited, prevented, or bringing a stated penalty.
