Ibrani 12:17
Konteks12:17 For you know that 1 later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessing 2 with tears.
Ibrani 5:7
Konteks5:7 During his earthly life 3 Christ 4 offered 5 both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.
[12:17] 1 tn Or a command: “for understand that.”
[12:17] 2 tn Grk “it,” referring either to the repentance or the blessing. But the account in Gen 27:34-41 (which the author appeals to here) makes it clear that the blessing is what Esau sought. Thus in the translation the referent (the blessing) is specified for clarity.
[5:7] 3 tn Grk “in the days of his flesh.”
[5:7] 4 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[5:7] 5 tn Grk “who…having offered,” continuing the description of Christ from Heb 5:5-6.
