Context

Hebrews 11:4

Context
11:4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith 5  he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith 6  he still speaks, though he is dead.

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 sn Ps 95 does not mention David either in the text or the superscription. It is possible that the writer of Hebrews is attributing the entire collection of psalms to David (although some psalms are specifically attributed to other individuals or groups).

3 tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).

4 tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

5 tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through which.”

6 tn Or “through his sacrifice”; Grk “through it.”
