Ibrani 9:23

9:23 So it was necessary for the sketches ¹  of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, ²  but the heavenly things themselves required ³  better sacrifices than these.

Ibrani 11:3

11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds ⁴  were set in order at God’s command, ⁵  so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. ⁶ 

[9:23]  ¹ tn Or “prototypes,” “outlines,” referring to the earthly sanctuary. See Heb 8:5 above for the prior use of this term.

[9:23]  ² tn Grk “with these”; in the translation the referent (sacrifices) has been specified for clarity.

[9:23]  ³ tn Grk “the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.”

[11:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “ages.” The temporal (ages) came to be used of the spatial (what exists in those time periods). See Heb 1:2 for same usage.

[11:3]  ⁵ tn Grk “by God’s word.”

[11:3]  ⁶ sn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that what is seen did not come into being from things that are visible.”
