Ibrani 9:5

9:5 And above the ark ⁵  were the cherubim ⁶  of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.

[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.

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

[9:5]  ⁶ 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.
