[5:5]  ¹ tn Heb “Look, I am saying.”

[5:5]  ² tn Heb “a house for the name of the Lord.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[5:5]  ³ tn Heb “a house for my name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[6:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “walk in.”

[6:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “do.”

[6:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and keep all my commandments by walking in them.”

[6:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will establish my word with you which I spoke to David your father.”

[17:11]  ¹² tn The Hebrew text also includes the phrase “in your hand.”

[17:12]  ¹³ tn Heb “Look, I am gathering two sticks and then I will go and make it for me and my son and we will eat it and we will die.”

[1:6]  ¹⁶ tn Or “disciplined.”

[1:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “did not correct him from his days.” The phrase “from his days” means “from his earliest days,” or “ever in his life.” See GKC 382 §119.w, n. 2.

[1:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and she gave birth to him after Absalom.” This does not imply they had the same mother; Absalom’s mother was Maacah, not Haggith (2 Sam 3:4).

[1:10]  ¹⁹ tn Or “bodyguard” (Heb “mighty men”).

[6:13]  ²⁰ sn The priest here in the immediate context is Joshua but the fuller and more distant allusion is to the Messiah, a ruling priest. The notion of the ruler as a priest-king was already apparent in David and his successors (Pss 2:2, 6-8; 110:2, 4), and it finds mature expression in David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, who will combine both offices in his kingship (Heb 5:1-10; 7:1-25).

[16:18]  ²¹ tn Or “and the power of death” (taking the reference to the gates of Hades as a metonymy).

[1:31]  ²⁶ tn See v. 13 for a similar construction.

[1:32]  ²⁷ tn Grk “this one.”

[1:32]  ²⁸ sn Compare the description of Jesus as great here with 1:15, “great before the Lord.” Jesus is greater than John, since he is Messiah compared to a prophet. Great is stated absolutely without qualification to make the point.

[1:32]  ²⁹ sn The expression Most High is a way to refer to God without naming him. Such avoiding of direct reference to God was common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.

[1:32]  ³⁰ tn Or “ancestor.”

[1:33]  ³¹ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. A new sentence is begun here in the translation because of the length of the sentence in Greek.

[1:33]  ³² tn Or “over Israel.”

[3:1]  ³³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:1]  ³⁴ tn Grk “of our confession.”
