1 tn Or “And again when he brings.” The translation adopted in the text looks forward to Christ’s second coming to earth. Some take “again” to introduce the quotation (as in 1:5) and understand this as Christ’s first coming, but this view does not fit well with Heb 2:7. Others understand it as his exaltation/ascension to heaven, but this takes the phrase “into the world” in an unlikely way.
2 sn A quotation combining themes from Deut 32:43 and Ps 97:7.
3 tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.
4 tc ‡ The reading adopted by the translation follows a few early mss and some versions (Ì13,46vid B vgms co Ambr). The majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï lat sy) insert “all” (“in all his house”), apparently in anticipation of Heb 3:5 which quotes directly from Num 12:7. On balance, the omission better explains the rise of ὅλῳ ({olw, “all”) than vice versa. NA27 puts ὅλῳ in brackets, indicating doubts as to its authenticity.
5 tn Grk “to whom.”
6 tn Or “a tenth part.”
7 tn Grk “for he/it is witnessed that.”
8 sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6 and 6:20).
9 tn Grk “my soul.”
10 sn A quotation from Hab 2:4.
