Ibrani 12:14

Do Not Reject God’s Warning

Ibrani 13:2

13:2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. ⁶ 

[11:21]  ¹ tn Grk “worshiped on the top of his staff,” a quotation from Gen 47:31 (LXX).

[11:22]  ² tn Grk “coming to an end,” “dying.”

[11:22]  ³ sn Joseph’s prophecy about the exodus of the sons of Israel is found in Gen 50:24.

[11:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “about his bones,” which refers by metonymy to the disposition of his bones, i.e., his burial.

[11:22]  sn The instructions about his burial are recorded in Gen 50:25.

[12:14]  ⁵ sn The references to peace and holiness show the close connection between this paragraph and the previous one. The pathway toward “holiness” and the need for it is cited in Heb 12:10 and 14. More importantly Prov 4:26-27 sets up the transition from one paragraph to the next: It urges people to stay on godly paths (Prov 4:26, quoted here in v. 13) and promises that God will lead them in peace if they do so (Prov 4:27 [LXX], quoted in v. 14).

[13:2]  ⁶ sn This is a vague allusion to people described in scripture and extra-biblical literature and may include Abraham and Sarah (Gen 18:2-15), Lot (Gen 19:1-14), Gideon (Judg 6:11-18), Manoah (Judg 13:3-22), and possibly Tobit (Tob 12:1-20).
