Hebrews 9:9
Context9:9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper.
Hebrews 11:11
Context11:11 By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, 1 he received the ability to procreate, 2 because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.


[11:11] 1 tn Grk “past the time of maturity.”
[11:11] 2 tn Grk “power to deposit seed.” Though it is not as likely, some construe this phrase to mean “power to conceive seed,” making the whole verse about Sarah: “by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and too old, she received ability to conceive, because she regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.”
