[5:8]  ¹ sn There is a wordplay in the Greek text between the verbs “learned” (ἔμαθεν, emaqen) and “suffered” (ἔπαθεν, epaqen).

[3:17]  ² tn Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

[3:17]  ³ sn An allusion to God’s judgment pronounced in Num 14:29, 32.

[9:5]  ³ tn Grk “above it”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.

[9:5]  ⁴ sn The cherubim (pl.) were an order of angels mentioned repeatedly in the OT but only here in the NT. They were associated with God’s presence, glory, and holiness. Their images that sat on top of the ark of the covenant are described in Exod 25:18-20.

[13:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “whose blood is brought by the high priest.”
