1 tc Several witnesses, many of them early and important (א A C D* P Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 al lat co), have at the end of v 7, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands.” Other mss, not quite as impressive in weight, lack the words (Ì46 B D2 Ï). In spite of the impressive external evidence for the longer reading, it is most likely a scribal addition to conform the text of Hebrews to Ps 8:6 (8:7 LXX). Conformity of a NT quotation of the OT to the LXX was a routine scribal activity, and can hardly be in doubt here as to the cause of the longer reading.

2 tn Grk “there is a necessity for the death of the one who made it to be proven.”

3 tn Grk “by which will.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

4 tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
