Hebrews 11:11-12

11:11 By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, ¹  he received the ability to procreate, ²  because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy. 11:12 So in fact children ³  were fathered by one man – and this one as good as dead – like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand ⁴  on the seashore. ⁵ 

Hebrews 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ⁶  of the true sanctuary ⁷  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

Genesis 22:4

22:4 On the third day Abraham caught sight of ⁸  the place in the distance.

Genesis 22:13

22:13 Abraham looked up ⁹  and saw ¹⁰  behind him ¹¹  a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. So he ¹²  went over and got the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

Romans 5:14

5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type ¹³  of the coming one) transgressed. ¹⁴ 

¹ tn Grk “past the time of maturity.”

² 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.”

³ tn Grk “these”; in the translation the referent (children) has been specified for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk a collective “the sand.”

⁵ sn An allusion to Gen 22:17 (which itself goes back to Gen 15:5).

⁶ tn Or “prefiguration.”

⁷ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

⁸ tn Heb “lifted up his eyes and saw.”

⁹ tn Heb “lifted his eyes.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and saw, and look.” The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”) draws attention to what Abraham saw and invites the audience to view the scene through his eyes.

¹¹ tc The translation follows the reading of the MT; a number of Hebrew mss, the LXX, Syriac, and Samaritan Pentateuch read “one” (אֶחָד, ’ekhad) instead of “behind him” (אַחַר, ’akhar).

¹² tn Heb “Abraham”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

¹³ tn Or “pattern.”

¹⁴ tn Or “disobeyed”; Grk “in the likeness of Adam’s transgression.”
