Hebrews 4:7

4:7 So God ¹  again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David ²  after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, ³  “O, that today you would listen as he speaks! ⁴  Do not harden your hearts.”

Hebrews 8:11

8:11 “And there will be no need at all ⁵  for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest. ⁶ 

[4:7]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:7]  ² sn Ps 95 does not mention David either in the text or the superscription. It is possible that the writer of Hebrews is attributing the entire collection of psalms to David (although some psalms are specifically attributed to other individuals or groups).

[4:7]  ³ tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).

[4:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

[8:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen…” The Greek makes this negation emphatic: “they will certainly not teach.”

[8:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “from the small to the great.”
