Hebrews 9:7

Context
9:7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, 1  and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 2 

Hebrews 9:13

Context
9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow sprinkled on those who are defiled consecrated them and provided ritual purity, 3 

Hebrews 9:25

Context
9:25 And he did not enter to offer 4  himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the sanctuary year after year with blood that is not his own,

1 tn Grk “the second tent.”

2 tn Or perhaps “the unintentional sins of the people”; Grk “the ignorances of the people.” Cf. BDAG 13 s.v. ἀγνόημα, “sin committed in ignorance/unintentionally.” This term seems to be simply a synonym for “sins” (cf. Heb 5:2) and does not pick up the distinction made in Num 15:22-31 between unwitting sin and “high-handed” sin. The Day of Atonement ritual in Lev 16 covered all the sins of the people, not just the unwitting ones.

3 tn Grk “for the purifying of the flesh.” The “flesh” here is symbolic of outward or ritual purity in contrast to inner purity, that of the conscience (cf. Heb 9:9).

4 tn Grk “and not that he might offer,” continuing the previous construction.
