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]).

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

6 tn Grk “in/by a symbol.”
7 tn Grk “received back their dead from resurrection.”
8 tn Grk “to obtain a better resurrection.”
