Benediction and Conclusion

13:20 Now may the God of peace who by the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ,

[7:5]  ¹ tn Or “the priesthood.”

[7:5]  ² tn Grk “from their brothers.” See BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.

[7:5]  ³ tn Grk “have come from the loins of Abraham.”

[8:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “not like the covenant,” continuing the description of v. 8b.

[9:24]  ⁵ tn Or “prefiguration.”

[9:24]  ⁶ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

[9:28]  ⁷ sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.

[9:28]  ⁸ tn Grk “without sin,” but in context this does not refer to Christ’s sinlessness (as in Heb 4:15) but to the fact that sin is already dealt with by his first coming.

[9:28]  ⁹ tn Grk “for salvation.” This may be construed with the verb “await” (those who wait for him to bring them salvation), but the connection with “appear” (as in the translation) is more likely.

[10:29]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “tramples under foot.”

[10:29]  ¹¹ tn Grk “regarded as common.”

[10:29]  ¹² tn Grk “by which he was made holy.”

[11:13]  ¹³ tn Grk “the promises,” referring to the things God promised, not to the pledges themselves.

[11:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “sojourners.”

[11:37]  ¹⁵ tc The reading ἐπρίσθησαν (ejprisqhsan, “they were sawed apart”) is found in some important witnesses (Ì⁴⁶ [D* twice reads ἐπίρσθησαν, “they were burned”?] pc sy^p sa Or^pt Eus). Other mss have ἐπειράσθησαν (ejpeirasqhsan, “they were tempted”), either before “sawed apart” ([א] L P [048] 33 81 326 1505 pc sy^h), after “sawed apart” (Ì^13vid A D¹ Ψ 1739 1881 Ï lat bo Or^pt), or altogether in place of “sawed apart” (0150 vg^mss Cl). Since the two words ἐπρίσθησαν and ἐπειράσθησαν are so much alike in sight and sound, and since the position of “they were tempted” varies in the mss, it seems best to say that ἐπειράσθησαν is an accidental corruption of ἐπρίσθησαν or an intentional change to a more common word (the root of ἐπρίσθησαν [πρίζω, prizw] occurs only here in the NT, while the root of ἐπειράσθησαν [πειράζω, peirazw] occurs 38 times). The best reading here seems to be “sawed apart” without any addition before or after. (See TCGNT 603-4, for a discussion of emendations that scholars have proposed for this difficult problem.)
