[2:11]  ¹ tn Grk “are all from one.”

[2:11]  ² tn Grk “for which reason.”

[2:11]  ³ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.

[5:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

[5:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

[5:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

[6:12]  ⁷ tn Or “dull.”

[6:19]  ¹⁰ sn The curtain refers to the veil or drape in the temple that separated the holy place from the holy of holies.

[7:1]  ¹³ sn A series of quotations from Gen 14:17-19.

[10:25]  ¹⁶ sn The day refers to that well-known time of Christ’s coming and judgment in the future; see a similar use of “day” in 1 Cor 3:13.

[10:25]  ¹⁷ tn This paragraph (vv. 19-25) is actually a single, skillfully composed sentence in Greek, but it must be broken into shorter segments for English idiom. It begins with several subordinate phrases (since we have confidence and a great priest), has three parallel exhortations as its main verbs (let us draw near, hold, and take thought), and concludes with several subordinate phrases related to the final exhortation (not abandoning but encouraging).

[11:3]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “ages.” The temporal (ages) came to be used of the spatial (what exists in those time periods). See Heb 1:2 for same usage.

[11:3]  ²⁰ tn Grk “by God’s word.”

[11:3]  ²¹ sn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.”
