[10:35]  ¹ tn Grk “which,” but showing the reason.

[8:6]  ² sn The Greek text indicates a contrast between vv. 4-5 and v. 6 that is difficult to render in English: Jesus’ status in the old order of priests (vv. 4-5) versus his superior ministry (v. 6).

[8:6]  ³ tn Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (Jesus) has been specified for clarity.

[8:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “to the degree that.”

[8:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “which is enacted.”

[8:6]  ⁶ sn This linkage of the change in priesthood with a change in the law or the covenant goes back to Heb 7:12, 22 and is picked up again in Heb 9:6-15 and 10:1-18.

[9:2]  ³ tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “in which [were].”

[9:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.

[10:8]  ⁴ sn Various phrases from the quotation of Ps 40:6 in Heb 10:5-6 are repeated in Heb 10:8.

[10:11]  ⁵ tn Or “daily,” “every day.”

[12:5]  ⁶ tn Or “disregard,” “think little of.”

[12:5]  ⁷ tn Or “reproves,” “rebukes.” The Greek verb ἐλέγχω (elencw) implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

[8:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “who serve in,” referring to the Levitical priests, but focusing on the provisional and typological nature of the tabernacle in which they served.

[8:5]  ⁸ tn Or “prototype,” “outline.” The Greek word ὑπόδειγμα (Jupodeigma) does not mean “copy,” as it is often translated; it means “something to be copied,” a basis for imitation. BDAG 1037 s.v. 2 lists both Heb 8:5 and 9:23 under the second category of usage, “an indication of someth. that appears at a subsequent time,” emphasizing the temporal progression between the earthly and heavenly sanctuaries.

[8:5]  ⁹ tn The word τύπος (tupos) here has the meaning “an archetype serving as a model, type, pattern, model” (BDAG 1020 s.v. 6.a). This is in keeping with the horizontal imagery accepted for this verse (see sn on “sketch” earlier in the verse). Here Moses was shown the future heavenly sanctuary which, though it did not yet exist, became the outline for the earthly sanctuary.

[8:5]  ¹⁰ sn A quotation from Exod 25:40.
