Hebrews 5:14

5:14 But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.

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 4:7-8

4:7 So God ⁴  again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David ⁵  after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, ⁶  “O, that today you would listen as he speaks! ⁷  Do not harden your hearts.” 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God ⁸  would not have spoken afterward about another day.

Hebrews 4:2

4:2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in ⁹  with those who heard it in faith. ¹⁰ 

Hebrews 2:14

2:14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, he likewise shared in ¹¹  their humanity, ¹²  so that through death he could destroy ¹³  the one who holds the power of death (that is, the devil),

[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.”

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

[4:7]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).

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

[4:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:2]  ⁹ tn Or “they were not united.”

[4:2]  ¹⁰ tc A few mss (א and a few versional witnesses) have the nominative singular participle συγκεκερασμένος (sunkekerasmeno", “since it [the message] was not combined with faith by those who heard it”), a reading that refers back to the ὁ λόγος (Jo logo", “the message”). There are a few other variants here (e.g., συγκεκεραμμένοι [sunkekerammenoi] in 104, συγκεκεραμένους [sunkekeramenou"] in 1881 Ï), but the accusative plural participle συγκεκερασμένους (sunkekerasmenou"), found in Ì^13vid,46 A B C D* Ψ 0243 0278 33 81 1739 2464 pc, has by far the best external credentials. This participle agrees with the previous ἐκείνους (ekeinou", “those”), a more difficult construction grammatically than the nominative singular. Thus, both on external and internal grounds, συγκεκερασμένους is preferred.

[2:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).

[2:14]  ¹² tn Grk “the same.”

[2:14]  ¹³ tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”
