¹ tn Grk “of necessity a change in the law comes to pass.”

² tn Grk “through Moses.”

³ tn Grk “let us fear.”

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

⁵ tn Grk “is not descended from them.”

⁶ tn Or “a tenth part.”

⁷ sn The verbs “collected…and blessed” emphasize the continuing effect of the past actions, i.e., Melchizedek’s importance.

⁵ tn Grk “are all from one.”

⁶ tn Grk “for which reason.”

⁷ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.

⁶ 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.”

⁷ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

⁸ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
