Hebrews 1:7

1:7 And he says ¹  of the angels, “He makes ²  his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire,” ³ 

Hebrews 2:7

2:7 You made him lower than the angels for a little while.

You crowned him with glory and honor. ⁴ 

Hebrews 4:13

4:13 And no creature is hidden from God, ⁵  but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

Hebrews 7:2

7:2 To him ⁶  also Abraham apportioned a tithe ⁷  of everything. ⁸  His name first means ⁹  king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

Hebrews 7:26

7:26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

Hebrews 8:3

8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

Hebrews 9:2

9:2 For a tent was prepared, the outer one, ¹⁰  which contained ¹¹  the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this ¹²  is called the holy place.

Hebrews 9:13

9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled consecrated them and provided ritual purity, ¹³ 

Hebrews 10:11

10:11 And every priest stands day after day ¹⁴  serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.

Hebrews 11:11

11:11 By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, ¹⁵  he received the ability to procreate, ¹⁶  because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.

Hebrews 12:9

12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from ¹⁷  our earthly fathers ¹⁸  and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? ¹⁹ 

¹ sn The Greek correlative conjunctions μέν and δέ (men and de) emphasize the contrastive parallelism of vs. 7 (what God says about the angels) over against vv. 8-9 and vv. 10-12 (what God says about the son).

² tn Grk “He who makes.”

³ sn A quotation from Ps 104:4.

⁴ tc Several witnesses, many of them early and important (א A C D* P Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 al lat co), have at the end of v 7, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands.” Other mss, not quite as impressive in weight, lack the words (Ì⁴⁶ B D² Ï). In spite of the impressive external evidence for the longer reading, it is most likely a scribal addition to conform the text of Hebrews to Ps 8:6 (8:7 LXX). Conformity of a NT quotation of the OT to the LXX was a routine scribal activity, and can hardly be in doubt here as to the cause of the longer reading.

⁷ tn Grk “him”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰ tn Grk “to whom,” continuing the description of Melchizedek. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

¹¹ tn Or “a tenth part.”

¹² sn A quotation from Gen 14:20.

¹³ tn Grk “first being interpreted,” describing Melchizedek.

¹³ tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.

¹⁴ tn Grk “in which [were].”

¹⁵ tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.

¹⁶ tn Grk “for the purifying of the flesh.” The “flesh” here is symbolic of outward or ritual purity in contrast to inner purity, that of the conscience (cf. Heb 9:9).

¹⁹ tn Or “daily,” “every day.”

²² tn Grk “past the time of maturity.”

²³ tn Grk “power to deposit seed.” Though it is not as likely, some construe this phrase to mean “power to conceive seed,” making the whole verse about Sarah: “by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and too old, she received ability to conceive, because she regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.”

²⁵ tn Grk “we had our earthly fathers as discipliners.”

²⁶ tn Grk “the fathers of our flesh.” In Hebrews, “flesh” is a characteristic way of speaking about outward, physical, earthly life (cf. Heb 5:7; 9:10, 13), as opposed to the inward or spiritual dimensions of life.

²⁷ tn Grk “and live.”
