Ibrani 9:5

9:5 And above the ark ³  were the cherubim ⁴  of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.

Ibrani 11:19

11:19 and he reasoned ⁵  that God could even raise him from the dead, and in a sense ⁶  he received him back from there.

[3:7]  ¹ sn The following quotation is from Ps 95:7b-11.

[3:7]  ² tn Grk “today if you hear his voice.”

[9:5]  ³ tn Grk “above it”; in the translation the referent (the ark) has been specified for clarity.

[9:5]  ⁴ sn The cherubim (pl.) were an order of angels mentioned repeatedly in the OT but only here in the NT. They were associated with God’s presence, glory, and holiness. Their images that sat on top of the ark of the covenant are described in Exod 25:18-20.

[11:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “having reasoned,” continuing the ideas of v. 17.

[11:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “in/by a symbol.”
