[9:7]  1 tn Grk “the second tent.”

[9:7]  2 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]  1 tn Or “prefiguration.”

[9:24]  2 tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.
