[11:21]  ¹ tn Grk “worshiped on the top of his staff,” a quotation from Gen 47:31 (LXX).

[12:7]  ² tn Grk “endure,” with the object (“your suffering”) understood from the context.

[12:7]  ³ tn Or “in order to become disciplined.”

[12:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “a voice of words.”

[12:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “a voice…from which those who heard begged that a word not be added to them.”

[12:20]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Exod 19:12-13.

[12:24]  ⁷ tn The Greek word μεσίτης (mesith", “mediator”) in this context does not imply that Jesus was a mediator in the contemporary sense of the word, i.e., he worked for compromise between opposing parties. Here the term describes his function as the one who was used by God to enact a new covenant which established a new relationship between God and his people, but entirely on God’s terms.

[12:24]  ⁸ sn Abel’s shed blood cried out to the Lord for justice and judgment, but Jesus’ blood speaks of redemption and forgiveness, something better than Abel’s does (Gen 4:10; Heb 9:11-14; 11:4).
