1 tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.
2 tn Grk “in which [were].”
3 tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.
4 tn Grk “But Christ, when he came,” introducing a sentence that includes all of Heb 9:11-12. The main construction is “Christ, having come…, entered…, having secured…,” and everything else describes his entrance.
5 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.”
6 tn Or “prefiguration.”
7 tn The word “sanctuary” is not in the Greek text at this point, but has been supplied for clarity.
