Hebrews 7:23-24

7:23 And the others ³  who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them ⁴  from continuing in office, ⁵  7:24 but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever.

Hebrews 10:10

10:10 By his will ⁶  we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrews 11:39

Hebrews 13:2

13:2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. ⁹ 

[7:18]  ¹ tn Grk “the setting aside of a former command comes to pass.”

[7:18]  ² tn Grk “because of its weakness and uselessness.”

[7:23]  ¹ tn Grk “they on the one hand” in contrast with “he on the other hand” in v. 24.

[7:23]  ² tn Grk “they were prevented by death.”

[7:23]  ³ tn Grk “from continuing” (the words “in office” are supplied for clarity).

[10:10]  ¹ tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:39]  ¹ sn The expression these all were commended forms an inclusio with Heb 11:2: The chapter begins and ends with references to commendation for faith.

[11:39]  ² tn Grk “the promise,” referring to the thing God promised, not to the pledge itself.

[13:2]  ¹ sn This is a vague allusion to people described in scripture and extra-biblical literature and may include Abraham and Sarah (Gen 18:2-15), Lot (Gen 19:1-14), Gideon (Judg 6:11-18), Manoah (Judg 13:3-22), and possibly Tobit (Tob 12:1-20).
