[2:2]  ¹ sn The message spoken through angels refers to the OT law, which according to Jewish tradition was mediated to Moses through angels (cf. Deut 33:2; Ps 68:17-18; Acts 7:38, 53; Gal 3:19; and Jub. 1:27, 29; Josephus, Ant. 15.5.3 [15.136]).

[2:2]  ² tn Grk “through angels became valid and every violation.”

[9:7]  ³ tn Grk “the second tent.”

[9:7]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “the unintentional sins of the people”; Grk “the ignorances of the people.” Cf. BDAG 13 s.v. ἀγνόημα, “sin committed in ignorance/unintentionally.” This term seems to be simply a synonym for “sins” (cf. Heb 5:2) and does not pick up the distinction made in Num 15:22-31 between unwitting sin and “high-handed” sin. The Day of Atonement ritual in Lev 16 covered all the sins of the people, not just the unwitting ones.

[9:15]  ⁵ tn The Greek word μεσίτης (mesith", “mediator”) in this context does not imply that Jesus was a mediator in the contemporary sense of the word, i.e., he worked for compromise between opposing parties. Here the term describes his function as the one who was used by God to enact a new covenant which established a new relationship between God and his people, but entirely on God’s terms.

[9:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “the promise of the eternal inheritance.”

[9:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “a death having occurred.”

[8:12]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Jer 31:31-34.

[10:28]  ⁹ tn Grk “dies.”

[10:28]  ¹⁰ sn An allusion to Deut 17:6.

[10:17]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and.”

[10:17]  ¹² sn A quotation from Jer 31:34.

[10:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “putting…I will inscribe.”

[10:16]  ¹⁴ sn A quotation from Jer 31:33.
