Hebrews 2:17

2:17 Therefore he had ¹  to be made like his brothers and sisters ²  in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement ³  for the sins of the people.

Hebrews 7:5

7:5 And those of the sons of Levi who receive the priestly office ⁴  have authorization according to the law to collect a tithe from the people, that is, from their fellow countrymen, ⁵  although they too are descendants of Abraham. ⁶ 

Hebrews 8:5

8:5 The place where they serve is ⁷  a sketch ⁸  and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, just as Moses was warned by God as he was about to complete the tabernacle. For he says, “See that you make everything according to the design ⁹  shown to you on the mountain.” ¹⁰ 

Hebrews 11:7

11:7 By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard ¹¹  constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

Hebrews 11:13

11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, ¹²  but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners ¹³  on the earth.

[2:17]  ¹ tn Or “he was obligated.”

[2:17]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[2:17]  ³ tn Or “propitiation.”

[7:5]  ⁴ tn Or “the priesthood.”

[7:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “from their brothers.” See BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.

[7:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “have come from the loins of Abraham.”

[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.

[11:7]  ¹⁰ tn Cf. BDAG 407 s.v. εὐλαβέομαι 2, “out of reverent regard (for God’s command).”

[11:13]  ¹³ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “sojourners.”
