Ibrani 4:7

4:7 So God ¹  again ordains a certain day, “Today,” speaking through David ²  after so long a time, as in the words quoted before, ³  “O, that today you would listen as he speaks! ⁴  Do not harden your hearts.”

Ibrani 5:1

5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people ⁵  and appointed ⁶  to represent them before God, ⁷  to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

[4:7]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:7]  ² sn Ps 95 does not mention David either in the text or the superscription. It is possible that the writer of Hebrews is attributing the entire collection of psalms to David (although some psalms are specifically attributed to other individuals or groups).

[4:7]  ³ tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).

[4:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

[5:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “from among men,” but since the point in context is shared humanity (rather than shared maleness), the plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) has been translated “people.”

[5:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “who is taken from among people is appointed.”

[5:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “appointed on behalf of people in reference to things relating to God.”
