[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.”
[3:5] 3 tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.
[3:5] 4 sn A quotation from Num 12:7.
[10:20] 7 tn Grk “that he inaugurated for us as a fresh and living way,” referring to the entrance mentioned in v. 19.
[10:20] 8 sn Through his flesh. In a bold shift the writer changes from a spatial phrase (Christ opened the way through the curtain into the inner sanctuary) to an instrumental phrase (he did this through [by means of] his flesh in his sacrifice of himself), associating the two in an allusion to the splitting of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom (Matt 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). Just as the curtain was split, so Christ’s body was broken for us, to give us access into God’s presence.
[11:22] 9 tn Grk “coming to an end,” “dying.”
[11:22] 10 sn Joseph’s prophecy about the exodus of the sons of Israel is found in Gen 50:24.
[11:22] 11 tn Grk “about his bones,” which refers by metonymy to the disposition of his bones, i.e., his burial.
