Hebrews 2:4

2:4 while God confirmed their witness ¹  with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed ²  according to his will.

Hebrews 3:5

3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s ³  house ⁴  as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken.

Hebrews 3:18

3:18 And to whom did he swear they would never enter into his rest, except those who were disobedient?

Hebrews 4:1

Hebrews 10:20

10:20 by the fresh and living way that he inaugurated for us ⁶  through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ⁷ 

Hebrews 11:22

¹ tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).

² tn Grk “and distributions of the Holy Spirit.”

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

⁴ sn A quotation from Num 12:7.

⁵ tn Grk “let us fear.”

⁷ tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.

⁸ 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.

⁹ tn Grk “coming to an end,” “dying.”

¹⁰ sn Joseph’s prophecy about the exodus of the sons of Israel is found in Gen 50:24.

¹¹ tn Grk “about his bones,” which refers by metonymy to the disposition of his bones, i.e., his burial.
