Ibrani 5:11

5:11 On this topic we have much to say ³  and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish ⁴  in hearing.

Ibrani 12:19

12:19 and the blast of a trumpet and a voice uttering words ⁵  such that those who heard begged to hear no more. ⁶ 

Ibrani 13:22

13:22 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, ⁷  bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.

Ibrani 4:2

4:2 For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in ⁸  with those who heard it in faith. ⁹ 

Ibrani 4:13

6:1 Therefore we must progress beyond ¹²  the elementary ¹³  instructions about Christ ¹⁴  and move on ¹⁵  to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

Ibrani 13:17

13:17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work. ¹⁶  Let them do this ¹⁷  with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you.

[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.”

[5:11]  ³ tn Grk “concerning which the message for us is great.”

[5:11]  ⁴ tn Or “dull.”

[12:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “a voice of words.”

[12:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “a voice…from which those who heard begged that a word not be added to them.”

[13:22]  ⁷ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.

[4:2]  ⁸ tn Or “they were not united.”

[4:2]  ⁹ tc A few mss (א and a few versional witnesses) have the nominative singular participle συγκεκερασμένος (sunkekerasmeno", “since it [the message] was not combined with faith by those who heard it”), a reading that refers back to the ὁ λόγος (Jo logo", “the message”). There are a few other variants here (e.g., συγκεκεραμμένοι [sunkekerammenoi] in 104, συγκεκεραμένους [sunkekeramenou"] in 1881 Ï), but the accusative plural participle συγκεκερασμένους (sunkekerasmenou"), found in Ì^13vid,46 A B C D* Ψ 0243 0278 33 81 1739 2464 pc, has by far the best external credentials. This participle agrees with the previous ἐκείνους (ekeinou", “those”), a more difficult construction grammatically than the nominative singular. Thus, both on external and internal grounds, συγκεκερασμένους is preferred.

[4:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “him”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:28]  ¹¹ sn See Heb 5:2 where this concept was introduced.

[6:1]  ¹² tn Grk “Therefore leaving behind.” The implication is not of abandoning this elementary information, but of building on it.

[6:1]  ¹³ tn Or “basic.”

[6:1]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the message of the beginning of Christ.”

[6:1]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “leaving behind…let us move on.”

[13:17]  ¹⁶ tn Or “as ones who will give an account”; Grk “as giving an account.”

[13:17]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “that they may do this.”
