tn Or “dull.”

tn Grk “the first tent.”

tn Grk “the worshipers, having been purified once for all, would have.”

tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence.

tn This probably refers to the righteous rule of David and others. But it could be more general and mean “did what was righteous.”

tn Grk “obtained promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
