Hebrews 5:1

5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ¹  and appointed ²  to represent them before God, ³  to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Hebrews 6:20

6:20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. ⁴ 

Hebrews 10:12

10:12 But when this priest ⁵  had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand ⁶  of God,

Hebrews 7:25

7:25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

Hebrews 9:7

9:7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, ⁷  and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. ⁸ 

Hebrews 9:24

9:24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands – the representation ⁹  of the true sanctuary ¹⁰  – but into heaven itself, and he appears now in God’s presence for us.

Hebrews 2:9

2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ¹¹  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ¹²  so that by God’s grace he would experience ¹³  death on behalf of everyone.

Hebrews 4:12

4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.

Hebrews 7:27

7:27 He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.

Hebrews 13:17

13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work. ¹⁴  Let them do this ¹⁵  with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you.

[5:1]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

[5:1]  ³ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”

[6:20]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 110:4, picked up again from Heb 5:6, 10.

[10:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “this one.” This pronoun refers to Jesus, but “this priest” was used in the translation to make the contrast between the Jewish priests in v. 11 and Jesus as a priest clearer in English.

[10:12]  ⁸ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1.

[9:7]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the second tent.”

[9:7]  ¹¹ tn Or perhaps “the unintentional sins of the people”; Grk “the ignorances of the people.” Cf. BDAG 13 s.v. ἀγνόημα, “sin committed in ignorance/unintentionally.” This term seems to be simply a synonym for “sins” (cf. Heb 5:2) and does not pick up the distinction made in Num 15:22-31 between unwitting sin and “high-handed” sin. The Day of Atonement ritual in Lev 16 covered all the sins of the people, not just the unwitting ones.

[9:24]  ¹³ tn Or “prefiguration.”

[9:24]  ¹⁴ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

[2:9]  ¹⁶ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

[2:9]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

[2:9]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).

[13:17]  ¹⁹ tn Or “as ones who will give an account”; Grk “as giving an account.”

[13:17]  ²⁰ tn Grk “that they may do this.”
