Ibrani 3:1

Jesus and Moses

3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, ¹  partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess, ² 

Ibrani 9:2

9:2 For a tent was prepared, the outer one, ³  which contained ⁴  the lampstand, the table, and the presentation of the loaves; this ⁵  is called the holy place.

Ibrani 9:10

9:10 They served only for matters of food and drink ⁶  and various washings; they are external regulations ⁷  imposed until the new order came. ⁸ 

Ibrani 12:14

Do Not Reject God’s Warning

12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, ⁹  for without it no one will see the Lord.

[3:1]  ¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[3:1]  ² tn Grk “of our confession.”

[9:2]  ³ tn Grk “the first,” in order of approach in the ritual.

[9:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “in which [were].”

[9:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “which,” describing the outer tent.

[9:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “only for foods and drinks.”

[9:10]  ⁷ tc Most witnesses (D¹ Ï) have “various washings, and external regulations” (βαπτισμοῖς καὶ δικαιώμασιν, baptismoi" kai dikaiwmasin), with both nouns in the dative. The translation “washings; they are… regulations” renders βαπτισμοῖς, δικαιώματα (baptismoi", dikaiwmata; found in such important mss as Ì⁴⁶ א* A I P 0278 33 1739 1881 al sa) in which case δικαιώματα is taken as the nominative subject of the participle ἐπικείμενα (epikeimena). It seems far more likely that scribes would conform δικαιώματα to the immediately preceding datives and join it to them by καί than they would to the following nominative participle. Both on external and internal evidence the text is thus secure as reading βαπτισμοῖς, δικαιώματα.

[9:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “until the time of setting things right.”

[12:14]  ⁹ 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).
