Ibrani 6:9

6:9 But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation.

Ibrani 7:2

7:2 To him ¹  also Abraham apportioned a tithe ²  of everything. ³  His name first means ⁴  king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

Ibrani 7:4

7:4 But see how great he must be, if ⁵  Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe ⁶  of his plunder.

Ibrani 12:17

12:17 For you know that ⁷  later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessing ⁸  with tears.

[7:2]  ¹ tn Grk “to whom,” continuing the description of Melchizedek. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[7:2]  ² tn Or “a tenth part.”

[7:2]  ³ sn A quotation from Gen 14:20.

[7:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “first being interpreted,” describing Melchizedek.

[7:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “to whom.”

[7:4]  ⁶ tn Or “a tenth part.”

[12:17]  ⁷ tn Or a command: “for understand that.”

[12:17]  ⁸ 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.
