Hebrews 9:5

Hebrews 11:27-28

11:27 By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king’s anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible. 11:28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, ¹¹  so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

[1:9]  ¹ sn God…has anointed you over your companions. God’s anointing gives the son a superior position and authority over his fellows.

[1:9]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 45:6-7.

[1:12]  ³ tc The words “like a garment” (ὡς ἱμάτιον, Jw" Jimation) are found in excellent and early mss (Ì⁴⁶ א A B D* 1739) though absent in a majority of witnesses (D¹ Ψ 0243 0278 33 1881 Ï lat sy bo). Although it is possible that longer reading was produced by overzealous scribes who wanted to underscore the frailty of creation, it is much more likely that the shorter reading was produced by scribes who wanted to conform the wording to that of Ps 102:26 (101:27 LXX), which here lacks the second “like a garment.” Both external and internal considerations decidedly favor the longer reading, and point to the author of Hebrews as the one underscoring the difference between the Son and creation.

[1:12]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 102:25-27.

[6:19]  ⁵ sn The curtain refers to the veil or drape in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holies.

[9:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “above it”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.

[9:5]  ⁸ sn The cherubim (pl.) were an order of angels mentioned repeatedly in the OT but only here in the NT. They were associated with God’s presence, glory, and holiness. Their images that sat on top of the ark of the covenant are described in Exod 25:18-20.

[9:8]  ⁹ tn Grk “the first tent.” The literal phrase “the first tent” refers to either (1) the outer chamber of the tabernacle in the wilderness (as in vv. 2, 6) or (2) the entire tabernacle as a symbol of the OT system of approaching God. The second is more likely given the contrast that follows in vv. 11-12.

[10:30]  ¹¹ sn A quotation from Deut 32:35.

[10:30]  ¹² sn A quotation from Deut 32:36.

[11:28]  ¹³ tn Grk “the pouring out of the blood.”
