[1:6] 1 tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.
[1:6] 2 sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.
[2:4] 3 tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).
[2:4] 4 tn Grk “and distributions of the Holy Spirit.”
[3:12] 6 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
[3:12] 7 tn Grk “that there not be in any of you.”
[3:12] 8 tn Or “deserts,” “rebels against.”

[6:6] 11 tn Grk “recrucifying the son of God for themselves.”
[10:12] 11 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.
[10:12] 12 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.
[10:36] 13 tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.

[11:3] 17 sn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.”
