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 9:10

9:10 They served only for matters of food and drink ⁵  and various washings; they are external regulations ⁶  imposed until the new order came. ⁷ 

Ibrani 12:11

12:11 Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. ⁸  But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness ⁹  for those trained by it.

[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.

[9:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “only for foods and drinks.”

[9:10]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Grk “until the time of setting things right.”

[12:11]  ⁸ tn Grk “all discipline at the time does not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow.”

[12:11]  ⁹ tn Grk “the peaceful fruit of righteousness.”
