Hebrews 12:21

12:21 In fact, the scene ¹  was so terrifying that Moses said, “I shudder with fear.” ² 

Hebrews 1:5

The Son Is Superior to Angels

1:5 For to which of the angels did God ³  ever say, “You are my son! Today I have fathered you”? ⁴  And in another place ⁵  he says, ⁶  “I will be his father and he will be my son.” ⁷ 

[12:21]  ¹ tn Grk “that which appeared.”

[12:21]  ² tn Grk “I am terrified and trembling.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “I have begotten you.”

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “And again,” quoting another OT passage.

[1:5]  ⁶ tn The words “he says” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to make a complete English sentence. In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but English does not normally employ such long and complex sentences.

[1:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me.”
