¹ sn A quotation from Prov 3:11-12.

² tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285^vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.

³ sn A quotation from Ps 118:6.

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

⁴ tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6, 6:20, and 7:17).

⁴ sn A quotation from Deut 32:35.

⁵ sn A quotation from Deut 32:36.

⁵ tn Grk “for,” but providing an explanation of the God-intended limitation of the first covenant from v. 7.

⁶ sn The “fault” or limitation in the first covenant was not in its inherent righteousness, but in its design from God himself. It was never intended to be his final revelation or provision for mankind; it was provisional, always pointing toward the fulfillment to come in Christ.

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

⁸ tc ‡ Several witnesses (א* A D* I K P Ψ 33 81 326 365 1505 2464 al latt co Cyr) have αὐτούς (autous) here, “[in finding fault with] them, [he says],” alluding to Israel’s failings mentioned in v. 9b. (The verb μέμφομαι [memfomai, “to find fault with”] can take an accusative or dative direct object.) The reading behind the text above (αὐτοίς, autoi"), supported by Ì⁴⁶ א² B D² 0278 1739 1881 Ï, is perhaps a harder reading theologically, and is more ambiguous in meaning. If αὐτοίς goes with μεμφόμενος (memfomeno", here translated “showing its fault”), the clause could be translated “in finding fault with them” or “in showing [its] faults to them.” If αὐτοίς goes with the following λέγει (legei, “he says”), the clause is best translated, “in finding/showing [its] faults, he says to them.” The accusative pronoun suffers no such ambiguity, for it must be the object of μεμφόμενος rather than λέγει. Although a decision is difficult, the dative form of the pronoun best explains the rise of the other reading and is thus more likely to be original.

⁶ tn Grk “putting…I will inscribe.”

⁷ sn A quotation from Jer 31:33.

⁷ tn Grk “not like the covenant,” continuing the description of v. 8b.

⁸ tn Grk “putting…I will inscribe.”

⁹ tn Grk “mind.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “I will be to them for a God and they will be to me for a people,” following the Hebrew constructions of Jer 31.
