¹ tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

² tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

³ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

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

⁸ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.
