Ibrani 1:3

1:3 The Son is ¹  the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, ²  and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. ³ 

Ibrani 11:12

11:12 So in fact children ⁴  were fathered by one man – and this one as good as dead – like the number of stars in the sky and like the innumerable grains of sand ⁵  on the seashore. ⁶ 

[1:3]  ¹ tn Grk “who being…and sustaining.” Heb 1:1-4 form one skillfully composed sentence in Greek, but it must be broken into shorter segments to correspond to contemporary English usage, which does not allow for sentences of this length and complexity.

[1:3]  ² tn Grk “by the word of his power.”

[1:3]  ³ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1, quoted often in Hebrews.

[11:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “these”; in the translation the referent (children) has been specified for clarity.

[11:12]  ⁵ tn Grk a collective “the sand.”

[11:12]  ⁶ sn An allusion to Gen 22:17 (which itself goes back to Gen 15:5).
