1 tn Heb “they shall be to you without blemish.”
2 tn Heb “of your months.”
3 tn Heb “unblemished they will be to you.” So also in v. 31.
4 tn The Hebrew phrase אֶת חַג־הַסֻּכּוֹת (’et khag-hassukot, “festival of huts” [or “shelters”]) is traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is probably better than the traditional “tabernacles” in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut; booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. The nature of the celebration during this feast as a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt suggests that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.
5 tn Heb “according to what is written.”
6 tn Heb “by number.”
7 tn Grk “this one.” This pronoun refers to Jesus, but “this priest” was used in the translation to make the contrast between the Jewish priests in v. 11 and Jesus as a priest clearer in English.
8 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
9 tn Grk “from then on waiting.”
10 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
