[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “God bearing witness together” (the phrase “with them” is implied).

[2:4]  ² tn Grk “and distributions of the Holy Spirit.”

[5:1]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

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

[9:12]  ⁵ tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”

[9:23]  ⁷ tn Or “prototypes,” “outlines,” referring to the earthly sanctuary. See Heb 8:5 above for the prior use of this term.

[9:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “with these”; in the translation the referent (sacrifices) has been specified for clarity.

[9:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”

[10:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “the worshipers, having been purified once for all, would have.”

[11:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “coming to an end,” “dying.”

[11:22]  ¹² sn Joseph’s prophecy about the exodus of the sons of Israel is found in Gen 50:24.

[11:22]  ¹³ tn Grk “about his bones,” which refers by metonymy to the disposition of his bones, i.e., his burial.

[12:9]  ¹³ tn Grk “we had our earthly fathers as discipliners.”

[12:9]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the fathers of our flesh.” In Hebrews, “flesh” is a characteristic way of speaking about outward, physical, earthly life (cf. Heb 5:7; 9:10, 13), as opposed to the inward or spiritual dimensions of life.

[12:9]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “and live.”
