¹ sn The message spoken through angels refers to the OT law, which according to Jewish tradition was mediated to Moses through angels (cf. Deut 33:2; Ps 68:17-18; Acts 7:38, 53; Gal 3:19; and Jub. 1:27, 29; Josephus, Ant. 15.5.3 [15.136]).

² tn Grk “through angels became valid and every violation.”

³ tn Here “received the promises” refers to the pledges themselves, not to the things God promised.

⁴ tn Grk “he was offering up.” The tense of this verb indicates the attempt or readiness to sacrifice Isaac without the actual completion of the deed.

⁵ tn Grk “having reasoned,” continuing the ideas of v. 17.

⁶ tn Grk “in/by a symbol.”

⁷ tn Grk “received back their dead from resurrection.”

⁸ tn Grk “to obtain a better resurrection.”
