Hebrews 9:6-7

Context
9:6 So with these things prepared like this, the priests enter continually into the outer tent 1  as they perform their duties. 9:7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, 2  and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 3

[9:6]  1 tn Grk “the first tent.”

[9:7]  2 tn Grk “the second tent.”

[9:7]  3 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.
