Hebrews — Footnotes

Chapter 1

1:9 — peers: see footnote at Luke 5:7.

Chapter 3

3:5 — servant. The Greek word here rendered servant is mainly used in the Greek Old Testament to translate the word for 'slave'.

Chapter 5

5:12 — that someone teach you⁺ the rudiments. CT reads (Level C): to be taught which are the rudiments.

Chapter 6

6:18 — the hope, see footnote at Hebrews 10:23.

Chapter 9

9:26 — at the very end of the [past] ages may mean 'at the end of an era'. See also 1 Corinthians 10:11.

Chapter 10

10:22 — Sprinkled in this context likely refers to a sprinkling of blood.

10:23 — the unwavering hope: what is referred to as 'unwavering' is what is being hoped for. The emphasis is not on hope as a feeling, but is rather on the object of the hope as it is in the similar phrase 'the hope' in Hebrews 6:18.

Chapter 12

12:22 — tens of thousands. This likely refers to a very large number rather than a specific multiple of ten thousand.
