[10:28]  ¹ tn Grk “dies.”

[10:28]  ² sn An allusion to Deut 17:6.

[6:18]  ³ tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.

[11:37]  ⁵ tc The reading ἐπρίσθησαν (ejprisqhsan, “they were sawed apart”) is found in some important witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ [D* twice reads ἐπίρσθησαν, “they were burned”?] pc sy^p sa Or^pt Eus). Other mss have ἐπειράσθησαν (ejpeirasqhsan, “they were tempted”), either before “sawed apart” ([א] L P [048] 33 81 326 1505 pc sy^h), after “sawed apart” (Ì^13vid A D¹ Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat bo Or^pt), or altogether in place of “sawed apart” (0150 vg^mss Cl). Since the two words ἐπρίσθησαν and ἐπειράσθησαν are so much alike in sight and sound, and since the position of “they were tempted” varies in the mss, it seems best to say that ἐπειράσθησαν is an accidental corruption of ἐπρίσθησαν or an intentional change to a more common word (the root of ἐπρίσθησαν [πρίζω, prizw] occurs only here in the NT, while the root of ἐπειράσθησαν [πειράζω, peirazw] occurs 38 times). The best reading here seems to be “sawed apart” without any addition before or after. (See TCGNT 603-4, for a discussion of emendations that scholars have proposed for this difficult problem.)

[9:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.

[9:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “in which [were].”

[9:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.

[11:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “worshiped on the top of his staff,” a quotation from Gen 47:31 (LXX).

[9:4]  ¹¹ tn Grk “in which”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.
