¹ tn Grk “are all from one.”

² tn Grk “for which reason.”

³ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The context here also indicates both men and women are in view; note especially the collective τὰ παιδία (ta paidia) in v. 14.

⁴ tn Grk “there are those who offer.”

⁵ tn Grk “when he says, ‘new,’” (referring to the covenant).

⁶ tn Grk “near to disappearing.”

⁷ tc The majority of mss, especially the later ones (א² 0278^vid 1739 Ï lat), have ὁ θεός (Jo qeo", “God”) at this point, while most of the earliest and best witnesses lack such an explicit addressee (so Ì⁴⁶ א* A C D K P Ψ 33 1175 1881 2464 al). The longer reading is a palpable corruption, apparently motivated in part by the wording of Ps 40:8 (39:9 LXX) and by the word order of this same verse as quoted in Heb 10:7.

⁸ tn Or “abolishes.”

⁹ tn Grk “having reasoned,” continuing the ideas of v. 17.

¹⁰ tn Grk “in/by a symbol.”

¹¹ tn Grk “worshiped on the top of his staff,” a quotation from Gen 47:31 (LXX).

¹² tn Grk “Know that” (an imperative).

¹³ tn Grk “has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.”
