1 tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”
2 tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”
3 tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).
4 tn Or “partook of” (this is a different word than the one in v. 14a).
5 tn Grk “the same.”
6 tn Or “break the power of,” “reduce to nothing.”
7 tn Or “he was obligated.”
8 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
9 tn Or “propitiation.”
10 tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 tn Grk “I have begotten you”; see Heb 1:5.
sn A quotation from Ps 2:7.
12 tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.
13 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
14 tn The words “did so” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
15 sn A quotation from Ps 110:4 (see Heb 5:6, 6:20, and 7:17).
16 tn This verb occurs in the Greek middle voice, which here intensifies the role of the subject, Christ, in accomplishing the action: “he alone secured”; “he and no other secured.”
17 sn An allusion to Isa 53:12.
18 tn Grk “without sin,” but in context this does not refer to Christ’s sinlessness (as in Heb 4:15) but to the fact that sin is already dealt with by his first coming.
19 tn Grk “for salvation.” This may be construed with the verb “await” (those who wait for him to bring them salvation), but the connection with “appear” (as in the translation) is more likely.
20 tn Grk “these”; in the translation the referent (children) has been specified for clarity.
21 tn Grk a collective “the sand.”
22 sn An allusion to Gen 22:17 (which itself goes back to Gen 15:5).
23 tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”
