¹ tn Grk “you subjected all things under his feet.”

² sn The expression all things under his control occurs three times in 2:8. The latter two occurrences are not exactly identical to the Greek text of Ps 8:6 quoted at the beginning of the verse, but have been adapted by the writer of Hebrews to fit his argument.

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

⁴ tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.

⁵ tn Grk “in assurance of faith.”

⁶ sn The phrase our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience combines the OT imagery of the sprinkling with blood to give ritual purity with the emphasis on the interior cleansing provided by the new covenant: It is the heart that is cleansed and the conscience made perfect (cf. Heb 8:10; 9:9, 14; 10:2, 16).

⁷ tn Or “settled as a resident alien.”

⁸ tn Or “heirs with him.”

⁹ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

¹⁰ tn Or “sojourners.”
