¹ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

² tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

³ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).

⁴ tn Or “he was obligated.”

⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

⁶ tn Or “propitiation.”

⁷ tn Grk “But Christ, when he came,” introducing a sentence that includes all of Heb 9:11-12. The main construction is “Christ, having come…, entered…, having secured…,” and everything else describes his entrance.

⁸ tn Or “prefiguration.”

⁹ tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.

¹⁰ tn Grk “tramples under foot.”

¹¹ tn Grk “regarded as common.”

¹² tn Grk “by which he was made holy.”
