Hebrews 12:17

Context
12:17 For you know that 1  later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessing 2  with tears.

1 tn Or a command: “for understand that.”

2 tn Grk “it,” referring either to the repentance or the blessing. But the account in Gen 27:34-41 (which the author appeals to here) makes it clear that the blessing is what Esau sought. Thus in the translation the referent (the blessing) is specified for clarity.
