1 tn Or “the priesthood.”
2 tn Grk “from their brothers.” See BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.
3 tn Grk “have come from the loins of Abraham.”
4 tn Grk “past the time of maturity.”
5 tn Grk “power to deposit seed.” Though it is not as likely, some construe this phrase to mean “power to conceive seed,” making the whole verse about Sarah: “by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and too old, she received ability to conceive, because she regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.”
