Hebrews 9:7
Context9:7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, 1 and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 2
Hebrews 10:30
Context10:30 For we know the one who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” 3 and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 4
[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.
