11:39 And these all were commended ⁶  for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. ⁷ 

[6:16]  ¹ tn The plural Greek term ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is used here in a generic sense, referring to both men and women, and is thus translated “people.”

[6:16]  ² tn Grk “by something greater”; the rest of the comparison (“than themselves”) is implied.

[6:16]  ³ tn Grk “the oath for confirmation is an end of all dispute.”

[9:1]  ¹ tn Grk “the first” (referring to the covenant described in Heb 8:7, 13). In the translation the referent (covenant) has been specified 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.
