ς. At sundry times and in divers manners in time past, God, 

α. jj ζ. having spoken unto the fathers by the prophets, (1:1)

η. hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, (cf. 12:25)

β.' whom he hath appointed heir of all things, 

by whom also he made the ages; (1:2)

Α. j                              χ.j who being the brightness of glory, 

and the imprint of his substance [ὑποστάσεως], 

ο.  and upholding all things by the word [ῥήματι] of his power, 

having by means of himself accomplished the purification of our sins, 

ς. sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (1:3) (cf. 8:1, 10:12, 12:2)

ω. '  ζ. being made so much better than the angels, 

η. as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (1:4)

_______________________________________________________

ς.'' For unto which of the angels said he at any time, 

THOU ART MY SON, THIS DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE [Ps. 2:7]? 

ς. tj    ζ. ' And again, 

I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON [2 Kgdms. 7:14]? (1:5)

η.  And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, 

AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM [Deut. 32:43]. (1:6)

And of the angels he saith, 

1.s WHO MAKETH HIS ANGELS SPIRITS, 

AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE [Ps. 103:5]; (1:7)

but unto the Son, 

ζ. tj    THY THRONE, O GOD, IS UNTO THE AGE OF AGES:

A SCEPTRE OF UPRIGHTNESS IS THE SCEPTRE OF THY KINGDOM. (1:8)

10. tj        THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND HATED INIQUITY;

WHEREFORE GOD, THY GOD, HATH ANOINTED THEE

Β. tj'                                 WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN THY FELLOWS [Ps. 44:5‑6]. (1:9)

And, 

THOU IN THE BEGINNING, O LORD, HAST LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH;

AND THE WORKS OF THINE HANDS THE HEAVENS ARE: (1:10)

THEY SHALL PERISH,

BUT THOU ABIDEST;

1.             AND ALL LIKE A GARMENT SHALL WAX OLD; (1:11)

η.       AND AS A VESTURE SHALT THOU FOLD THEM,

AND THEY SHALL BE CHANGED:

BUT THOU ART THE SAME,

AND THY YEARS SHALL NOT FAIL [Ps. 101:25‑27]. (1:12)

But to which of the angels said he at any time, 

10.tSIT ON MY RIGHT HAND, 

UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THE FOOTSTOOL OF THY FEET [Ps. 109:1]? (1:13)

_____________________________________________

α.  Are they not all ministering spirits, 

sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (1:14)

β.  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, 

lest at any time we should drift away. (2:1)

χ.  For if the word spoken by angels [in the Torah] was steadfast, 

Χ.                           and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; (2:2)

ς. how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; 

ο. j  ζ. which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, 

η. and was confirmed unto us by them that heard; (2:3)

ς. God jointly bearing witness, 

ω. t ζ. both with signs and omens and divers miracles 

η. and portions of the Holy Spirit according to his will? (2:4)

_____________________________________________

1.s For not unto the angels hath he put in subjection the world that is coming, whereof we speak. (2:5)

But one in a certain place testified, saying, 

10. WHAT IS MAN, THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM?

α. t               OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT THOU VISITEST HIM? (2:6)

10’. THOU MADEST HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS;

THOU CROWNEDST HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOUR,

1’.  AND DIDST SET HIM OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS: (2:7)

THOU HAST PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET [Ps. 8:4‑6]. 

ς. For in that he put all in subjection under him, 

β. t' ζ. he left nothing that is not put under him. 

η. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (2:8)

1. But as one made a little lower than the angels do we see Jesus, 

Ο. t                                        χ. jj    10. for the suffering of death, 

1’. crowned with glory and honour; 

10’. that he by the grace of God should taste death for everyone. (2:9)

ς. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, 

ο. t  ζ. in bringing many sons unto glory, 

η. to make the originator of their salvation complete through sufferings. (2:10)

1.s For both he that maketh holy and they who are made holy are all of one: 

for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (2:11)

1’.  saying, I WILL DECLARE THY NAME UNTO MY BRETHREN,

IN THE MIDST OF THE ASSEMBLY WILL I SING PRAISE UNTO THEE [Ps. 21:22]. (2:12)

ω. t         10.' And again, 

I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM [Is. 8:17]. 

10’. And again, 

BEHOLD I AND THE CHILDREN WHICH GOD HATH GIVEN ME [Is. 8:18]. (2:13)

_______________________________________________________

α.  Forasmuch then as the children are communicants of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

ς. that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, 

β. t  ζ. that is, the devil; (2:14)

η. and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (2:15)

ξ.  For verily he took not up the cause of angels; 

Ω.                                     but he took up the cause of the seed of Abraham. (2:16)

ς. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, 

ο. t  ζ. that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, 

η. to make propitiation for the sins of the people. (2:17)

ω. For in that he himself hath suffered being tested, 

he is able to help them that are tested. (2:18) (cf. 4:15)

α. Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, 

β. consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, 

α. t'         χ. Jesus the Messiah; (3:1)

ο. who was faithful to him that appointed him, 

ω. as also was Moses in all his house. (3:2)

β.' For this one was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, 

inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. (3:3)

Α. j'                             χ.  For every house is builded by someone; 

but he that built all things is God. (3:4)

ς. And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house, as a servant, 

ο. tj ζ. for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; (3:5)

η. but the Messiah as a son over his own house; 

ω. whose house are we, 

'    provided we hold fast the boldness and the boasting of the hope firm unto the end. (3:6)

_______________________________________________________

Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit saith, 

α. TODAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, (3:7‑8a)

t'  AS IN THE PROVOCATION, IN THE DAY OF TESTING IN THE WILDERNESS: (3:8b)

  β. WHEN YOUR FATHERS TESTED ME, PROVED ME, 

j     AND SAW MY WORKS FORTY YEARS. (3:9)

α. t'              χ. WHEREFORE I WAS GRIEVED WITH THAT GENERATION,

  ο. AND SAID, THEY DO ALWAY ERR IN THEIR HEART;

j     AND THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN MY WAYS. (3:10)

ω. SO I SWARE IN MY WRATH,

''   THEY SHALL NOT ENTER INTO MY REST [Ps. 94:8‑11]), (3:11)

α. take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unfaithfulness 

t'  in departing from the living God. (3:12)

  β. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; 

j     lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. (3:13)

β. t'              χ.  For we are made partakers of the Messiah, 

jj  if unto the beginning of our assurance [ὑποστάσεως] we hold steadfast until the end; (3:14)

  ο. while it is said, TODAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE,

j     HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, AS IN THE PROVOCATION [Ps. 94:8]. (3:15)

ω. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: 

''   howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. (3:16)

ς. But with whom was he grieved forty years? 

j  was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? (3:17)

Β. tt                                        χ. j    ζ.  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, 

j   but to them that obeyed not? (3:18)

η. So we see that 

tj they could not enter in because of unfaithfulness. (3:19)

Let us therefore fear, 

ς. t   lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, 

any of you should seem to come short of it. (4:1)

  For we were evangelized, just as they were: 

ο. j       ζ. t   but the word which was heard did not profit them, 

  not being mixed with faithfulness in them that heard it. (4:2)

    For we which have been faithful do enter into rest, 

     η. t   as he said, AS I HAVE SWORN IN MY WRATH, IF THEY SHALL ENTER INTO MY REST [Ps. 94:11]: 

    although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (4:3)

For he hath spoken somewhere of the seventh day in this way, 

α. j   AND GOD DID REST THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS [Gen. 2:2]. (4:4)

And in this place again, 

  IF THEY SHALL ENTER INTO MY REST [Ps. 94:11]. (4:5)

Seeing therefore it remaineth for some to enter therein, 

β. ''   and they who were first evangelized entered not in because of disobedience: (4:6)

again, he defineth a certain day, TODAY, saying this in David, after so long a time; 

   as it is said, TODAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS [Ps. 94:8]. (4:7)

ω. j'                        For if Joshua [Jesus] had given them rest, 

ξ. '   then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. (4:8)

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. (4:9)

ο. For he that is entered into his rest, 

j   he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (4:10)

ω. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, 

''   lest any man fall after the same example of disobedience. (4:11)

_____________________________________________

α. For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, 

β. piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, 

Χ. '                    χ. and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (4:12)

ο. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: 

ω. but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (4:13)

_____________________________________________

ς. Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, 

ς. '   ζ. Jesus the Son of God, 

η. let us hold fast our confession. (4:14)

 ς. For we have not an high priest 

Ο. t          ζ.     ζ. which cannot sympathize with our weaknesses; 

 η. but he was similarly tested in all things, apart from sin. (4:15) (cf. 2:18)

  ς. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, 

  η. tj ζ. that we may obtain mercy, 

  η. and find grace to help in time of need. (4:16)

_______________________________________________________

For every high priest taken from among men 

ς. j   is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, 

that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: (5:1)

 who can have compassion on the ignorant, 

ς. tj     ζ.     and on them that are out of the way; 

 for that he himself also is compassed with weakness. (5:2)

  And by reason hereof he owes it, 

  η. t  as for the people, so also for himself, 

  to offer for sins. (5:3)

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, 

ς. j   but he that is called of God, 

as was Aaron. (5:4)

 So also the Messiah glorified not himself to be made an high priest; 

Ω. tj                  ζ.t       ζ. j   but he that said unto him, THOU ART MY SON, 

 TODAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE [Ps. 2:7]. (5:5)

  As he saith also in another place, 

  η. ''  THOU ART A PRIEST UNTO THE AGE 

  AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK [Ps. 109:4]. (5:6)

Who in the days of his flesh, 

when prayers and supplications, 

ς.             unto him that was able to save him from death, 

with strong crying and tears did he offer up, 

and was heard [εἰσακουσθεὶς] in that he was reverent; (5:7)

 though being the Son, 

η.        ζ. j   yet learned he by the things which he suffered 

 obedience [ὑπακοήν]; (5:8)

   and being brought to completion, 

   he became unto all them that obey [ὑπακούουσιν] him 

   η.             the causer of eternal salvation; (5:9)

   called of God an high priest 

   after the order of Melchizedek. (5:10)

α. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, 

tj'seeing ye are become slothful in listening. (5:11)

β. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, 

''' ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; 

α. tj                   ξ. and are become such as have need of milk, 

jj and not of strong meat. (5:12)

ο. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: 

tj for he is a babe. (5:13)

ω. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, 

    those who out of habit have their senses exercised to discern both good and bad. (5:14)

ς.  Therefore leaving an account of the principles of the Messiah, 

j   let us go on unto completion; 

not laying again the foundation 

of repentance from dead works, and of faithfulness toward God, (6:1)

β. j'      ζ. j  of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, 

  and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (6:2)

η.  And this will we do, 

tj  if God permit. (6:3)

   For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, 

   and have tasted of the heavenly gift, 

ς. j'        and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (6:4)

   and have tasted the good word [ῥῆμα] of God, 

Ϛ. t                                                             χ. j   and the powers of the coming Age, (6:5)

ζ.  if they shall fall away, 

j   to renew them again unto repentance; 

η.  they crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, 

tj  and openly holding him in contempt. (6:6)

1. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, 

10. and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, 

receiveth blessing from God: (6:7)

ο. 

10’. but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, 

and is nigh unto cursing; 

1’. whose end is to be burned. (6:8)

α. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, 

tj'and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. (6:9)

β. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, 

''' which ye have showed toward his name, 

ω. j'                   χ. in that ye have ministered to the saints, 

jj and do minister. (6:10)

ο. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence 

tj to the full assurance of hope unto the end: (6:11)

ω. That ye be not slothful, 

    but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (6:12)

_______________________________________________________

tj'For when God made promise to Abraham, 

α. t because he had no one greater to swear by, 

tj'he sware by himself, (6:13)

β. saying, SURELY BLESSING I WILL BLESS THEE,

''' AND MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY THEE [Gen. 22:17]. (6:14)

ξ. And so, after he had been longsuffering, 

jj he obtained the promise. (6:15)

ο. For men indeed swear by the greater: 

tj and to them an end of all dispute is an oath for confirmation, (6:16)

    by which God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of the promise 

ς. t                 the immutability of his counsel, 

ω. j     mediated by oath: (6:17)

tthat by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie, 

    we might have a mighty consolation, 

ς. we who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: (6:18)

j  which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, 

ζ. and which entereth into that within the veil; (6:19)

t' whither the forerunner is for us entered, 

η. Jesus, after the order of Melchizedek, 

tj made an high priest unto the Age. (6:20)

α. For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, 

tj'priest of the most high God, 

β. who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (7:1)

''' to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; 

Ζ. j                    ζ.                       χ. first being by interpretation King of righteousness, 

jj and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; (7:2)

ο. without father, without mother, without descent, 

tj having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; 

ω. but made like unto the Son of God; 

    abideth a priest unto perpetuity. (7:3)

α. Now consider how great this man was, 

tj'unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. (7:4)

''' And verily they that are of the sons of Levi that receive the priesthood 

''' have a commandment to take tithes of the people 

β. t         according to the Torah, 

''' that is, of their brethren, 

''' though they come out of the loins of Abraham: (7:5)

jj But he whose genealogy is not from them received tithes of Abraham, 

η. tj                   ξ. j    and blessed him that had the promises. (7:6)

jj And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. (7:7)

ο. And here, men that die receive tithes, 

tj but there, he of whom it is witnessed that he liveth doth. (7:8)

    And as I may so say, through Abraham 

    Levi also, who receiveth tithes, 

ω. t         payed tithes. (7:9)

    For he was yet in the loins of his father, 

    when Melchizedek met him. (7:10)

_______________________________________________________

tj'If therefore completion were by the Levitical priesthood, 

tj'(for under it the people received the Torah,) 

α. j         what further need was there that after the order of Melchizedek 

tj'another priest should rise, 

tj'and not be called after the order of Aaron? (7:11)

''' For the priesthood being changed, 

''' there is also of necessity made a change of the Torah. (7:12)

β. jj        For he of whom these things are spoken 

''' belongeth to another tribe, 

''' of which no one gave attendance at the altar. (7:13)

ς. tj                                   χ. For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah; 

jj of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. (7:14)

tj And it is yet abundantly more evident: 

tj for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, (7:15)

ο. t         who is made, not after the Torah of a carnal commandment, 

tj but after the power of an endless life. (7:16)

tj For he witnesseth that 

tj THOU ART A PRIEST UNTO THE AGE AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK [Ps. 109:4]. (7:17)

    For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before 

    for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. (7:18)

ω. t         For the Torah made nothing complete, 

    but the bringing in of a better hope did; 

    by the which we draw nigh unto God. (7:19)

α. And inasmuch as not without an oath — (7:20)

''' for those priests were made without an oath, 

β. but this man with an oath by him that said unto him, 

''' THE LORD SWARE AND WILL NOT REPENT, 

''' THOU ART A PRIEST UNTO THE AGE AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK — (7:21)

Η.                      ζ. j                         χ. by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better covenant. (7:22)

tj And they truly were many priests, 

ο. j    because they were not suffered to remain by reason of death: (7:23)

tj but this man, because he abideth unto the Age, 

tj hath an inviolable priesthood, (7:24)

ω. wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, 

    seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (7:25)

j  For such an high priest befitted us, holy, 

j  harmless, 

ς. t'        undefiled, 

j  separate from sinners, 

j  and become higher than the heavens; (7:26)

t' who needeth not daily, as those high priests, 

t' first for his own sins 

η.            ζ. tj        to offer up sacrifice, 

t' and then for the people’s: 

t' for this he did once, when he offered up himself. (7:27)

tj For the Torah 

tj   appointeth men high priests 

tj   which have weakness; 

η. jj            but the word of the oath-swearing, 

tj which was after the Torah, 

tj   appointeth the Son, 

tj   who unto the Age hath been brought to completion. (7:28)

α. Now this is the sum of the things which we have spoken: 

β. We have such an high priest, 

ς. '           χ. who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; (8:1) (cf. 1:3, 10:12, 12:2)

ο. a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, 

ω. which the Lord pitched, and not man. (8:2)

α. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: 

t'  wherefore it is necessary that this one too have somewhat to offer. (8:3)

Α. j'                             β. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, 

ζ.                       χ. seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the Torah: (8:4)

ο. who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, 

ω. as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: 

''   for, SEE, saith he, THAT THOU MAKE ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN [τύπον] SHOWN TO THEE IN THE MOUNT [Ex. 25:40]. (8:5)

ς. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, 

η. j'    ζ. by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, 

η. which was established upon better promises. (8:6)

_______________________________________________________

α₁.  For if that first covenant had been faultless, 

  then should no place have been sought for the second. (8:7)

 1. For finding fault with them, he saith, 

α₂.j1’. BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD,

 10. WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT

 10’. WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: (8:8)

1. NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS

β.       10. IN THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT;

1’. BECAUSE THEY CONTINUED NOT IN MY COVENANT,

10’. AND I REGARDED THEM NOT, SAITH THE LORD. (8:9)

ς. FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT

Β. tj                                  χ. j'    ζ. THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL

η. AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD;

1. I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND,

ο.  1’. AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS:

10. AND I WILL BE TO THEM A GOD,

10’. AND THEY SHALL BE TO ME A PEOPLE: (8:10)

 ς. AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERY MAN HIS NEIGHBOUR,

 j  AND EVERY MAN HIS BROTHER, SAYING, KNOW THE LORD:

ω₂. ''   ζ. FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, 

 j  FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. (8:11)

 η. FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,

 tj AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER NO MORE [Jer. 31:31‑34]. (8:12)

ω₁. In that he saith, A NEW, he hath made the first old. 

'''    Now that which decayeth and is grown old is ready to vanish away. (8:13)

_______________________________________________________

j  Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, 

j  and a worldly sanctuary. (9:1)

ς. j         For a tabernacle was made, the first, 

j  wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; 

j  which is called the sanctuary. (9:2)

   j  And after the second veil, 

ς.               ζ. t'   the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; (9:3)

   j  which had the golden censer, 

tj and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, 

tj wherein was the golden pot that had manna, 

η. t         and Aaron’s rod that budded, 

tj and the tables of the covenant; (9:4)

tj and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; 

tj of which we cannot now speak particularly. (9:5)

Χ.  

α. Now when these things were thus ordained, 

t'  into the first tabernacle went the priests always, accomplishing the divine service. (9:6)

β. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, 

ζ. t              not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: (9:7)

χ. the Holy Spirit this signifying, 

ο. that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, 

ω. while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: (9:8)

α. which was a parable for the time then present, 

β. in which both gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not, according to the conscience, 

η. j          χ. complete him that did the service; (9:9)

ο. only in foods and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, 

ω. imposed until the time of rectification. (9:10)

_______________________________________________________

α. But the Messiah having arrived an high priest of good things to come, 

β. by a greater and more complete tabernacle, 

j   not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; (9:11)

α. ''               ξ. neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood

ο. he entered in once into the holy place, 

ω. having obtained eternal redemption. (9:12)

α. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer 

β. sprinkling the unclean, maketh holy to the purifying of the flesh: (9:13)

β. j          ξ. how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, 

ο. who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, 

ω. purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (9:14)

α. And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant: 

β. so that, a death having occurred 

j   for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, 

Ο. j'                             χ. tt'             ξ. they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (9:15)

ο. For where a covenant is, there must also of necessity be the death of the covenanter. (9:16)

ω. For a covenant is assured after men are dead: 

''   otherwise it is of no strength at all while the covenanter liveth. (9:17)

α. Whereupon neither the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. (9:18)

t'  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the Torah, 

  β. he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, 

  j   and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, (9:19)

ο.                 χ. saying, THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD HATH ENJOINED UNTO YOU [Ex. 24:8]. (9:20)

  ο. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. (9:21)

ω. And almost all things are by the Torah purified with blood; 

''   and without shedding of blood is no remission. (9:22)

t'  Necessary therefore was it that the models [ὑποδείγματα] of things in the heavens 

α. j    should be purified with these; 

t'  but the heavenly things themselves 

t'  with better sacrifices than these. (9:23)

j   For not into the holy places made with hands is the Messiah entered, 

β. j'   representations [ἀντίτυπα] of the true; 

j   but into heaven itself, 

j   now to appear in the presence of God for us: (9:24)

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, 

ω.                                   ξ. '   as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; (9:25)

for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world. 

j   But now once in the consummation of the ages, 

ο.      to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, hath he appeared. (9:26)

j   And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (9:27)

j   so the Messiah was offered once to bear the sins of many. 

''   The second time 

ω. j    — sin aside — 

''   he shall appear to them that eagerly await him 

''   — unto salvation. (9:28)

_______________________________________________________

For the Torah (having a shadow of good things to come, 

1. ' not the very image of the things), 

with those sacrifices which they offered year by year, 

can never unto perpetuity make complete the comers thereunto. (10:1)

α.  

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? 

10. t    because that the worshippers once purified should have had no more conscience of sins. (10:2)

But among these is a remembrance of sins made every year. (10:3)

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (10:4)

1’. '     SACRIFICE AND OFFERING, AND BURNT OFFERINGS AND THOSE FOR SIN,

THOU WOULDEST NOT, NEITHER HADST PLEASURE THEREIN [Ps. 39:9‑10], 

such are those offered by the Torah; (10:8)

then said he, 

10’. t   LO, I COME TO DO, O GOD, THY WILL [Ps. 39:11]; 

he taketh away the first, 

that he may establish the second. (10:9)

j   And every priest standeth daily ministering 

β.   and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, 

j   which can never take away sins: (10:11)

jj but this one, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins unto perpetuity, 

ξ. t sat down on the right hand of God, (10:12) (cf. 1:3, 8:1, 12:2)

Ω. j'                                                            χ. tj                            from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet [cf. Ps. 109:1]. (10:13)

j   For by one offering 

ο. j he hath made complete unto perpetuity 

j   them that are made holy. (10:14)

''   Whereof the Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, (10:15)

''   AND THEIR SINS AND INIQUITIES WILL I REMEMBER NO MORE [Jer. 31:34]. (10:17)

t'  For if we sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, 

α. there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (10:26)

t'  but a certain fearful looking for of judgment 

t'  and fiery indignation coming to devour the adversaries. (10:27)

j   Anyone that discarded the Torah of Moses 

j   died without pity under two or three witnesses. (10:28)

j   Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, 

  j   who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, 

β. j'   and hath reckoned the blood of the covenant profane, wherewith he was made holy, 

  j   and hath outraged the Spirit of grace? (10:29)

j   For we know him that hath said, 

  j   VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord [Deut. 32:35]. 

j   And again, 

  j   THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE [Deut. 32:36]. (10:30)

ω. t'                         χ. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (10:31)

j   But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, 

j   ye endured a great struggle of sufferings; (10:32)

j   partly, whilst ye were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; 

ο. j    and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. (10:33)

j   For ye had compassion on those in bonds, 

  j   and accepted with joy the spoiling of your possessions, 

    j   knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring possession. (10:34)

''   Cast not away therefore your boldness, 

''   which hath great recompense of reward. (10:35)

''   For ye have need of patience, 

''   that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. (10:36)

ω. t         For yet a little while, and HE THAT IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT TARRY. (10:37)

''   BUT THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITHFULNESS:

''   But we are not those who draw back unto perdition, 

''   but they that are faithful unto the preservation of the soul. (10:39)

ς. Now faithfulness is the assurance [ὑπόστασις] of things hoped for, 

Α.      ζ. conviction in things not seen. (11:1)

η. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. (11:2)

_______________________________________________________

α. In faithfulness we understand that the ages were framed by the word [ῥήματι] of God, 

such that not from things visible have the things that are seen come into being. (11:3)

  ς. In faithfulness Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, 

  β.       ζ. by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: 

  η. and by it he being dead yet speaketh. (11:4) (cf. 12:24)

ς. In faithfulness Enoch was translated that he should not see death; 

j  and was not found, because God had translated him: 

χ. t     ζ. for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God; (11:5)

j  but without faithfulness it is impossible to please him: 

η. for he that cometh to God must have faith that he is, 

tj and that, to them that diligently seek him, he is one to recompense with reward. (11:6)

  1. In faithfulness Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, 

  ο.       10. having reverence, constructed an ark to the saving of his house; 

  1’. by the which he condemned the world, 

  10’. and became heir of the righteousness which is by faithfulness. (11:7)

Β.  

1. In faithfulness Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out 

ω. t    10. into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance; 

1’. and he went out, 

10’. not knowing whither he went. (11:8)

  1. In faithfulness he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, 

  ς. jj    10. dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, 

  10’. the heirs with him of the same promise: (11:9)

  1’. for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. (11:10)

  ς. In faithfulness also Sarah herself received ability to conceive seed, 

  ζ. t     ζ. and past the time of maturity gave birth, 

  η. because she esteemed him faithful who had promised. (11:11)

  1. Therefore from just one was begotten — 

  η.' 1’. and these from one that hath died — 

  10. such that are as the stars of the sky in multitude, 

  10’. and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable. (11:12)

_______________________________________________________

ς. According to faithfulness, these all died not having received the promises, 

α. ζ. but having seen them afar off and embraced them, 

η. and having confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. (11:13)

1. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a fatherland. (11:14)

β.       10. And indeed if they had been mindful of that one from whence they came out, 

1’. they might have had opportunity to have returned; (11:15)

10’. but now they long for a better one, that is, an heavenly: 

Χ.                           χ.  wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: 

for he hath prepared for them a city. (11:16)

ς. In faithfulness Abraham offered up Isaac when he was tested: 

ο.       ζ. and he that had received the promises offered up his only-begotten, (11:17)

η. of whom it was said, THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED [Gen. 21:12]: (11:18)

ω.jaccounting that, even from the dead, God is able to raise up, 

from whence also he received him parabolically. (11:19)

_______________________________________________________

α.  In faithfulness Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning coming things. (11:20)

  β.  In faithfulness Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, 

  and BOWED HIMSELF UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF [Gen. 47:31]. (11:21)

ξ.  In faithfulness Joseph, when coming to his end, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel; 

and gave commandment concerning his bones. (11:22)

ς. In faithfulness Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, 

ο. j'    ζ. because they saw he was a genteel child; 

η. and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. (11:23)

  ς. In faithfulness Moses, when he became big, 

  j  refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, (11:24)

  ω. tj     ζ. preferring rather to endure harm together with the people of God, 

Ο. j                           than to have the enjoyment of sin for a time; (11:25)

  η. esteeming as riches greater than Egypt’s treasures the reproach of the Messiah: 

  tj for he looked forward to the recompense of the reward. (11:26)

ς. In faithfulness he forsook Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: 

j  for, seeing him who is invisible, he endured. (11:27)

ς. tj      ζ. In faithfulness he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, 

t    lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. (11:28)

η. In faithfulness they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: 

tj which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. (11:29)

ζ.  In faithfulness the walls of Jericho fell down, 

after they were compassed about seven days. (11:30)

α.' 1’. For the time would fail me to tell all about Gideon, 

10. as well as Barak and Samson and Jephthah; 

10’. as well as David and Samuel and the prophets: (11:32)

j  who through faithfulness subdued kingdoms,

j  stopped the mouths of lions, (11:33)

β. j          ζ.   quenched the power of fire, 

j  escaped the edge of the sword,

ς. Women received their dead raised to life again: 

Ω. tj                                            χ. '   ζ. and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; 

η. that they might obtain a better resurrection: (11:35)

j  and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, 

ς.   yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: (11:36)

j  they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tested, were slain with the sword: 

j  they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins;

tj and dens and caves of the earth. (11:38)

1. And these all, having obtained a good testimony through faithfulness, 

ω. t    10. received not the promise: (11:39)

10’. God having provided some better thing for us, 

1’. that they without us should not be completed. (11:40)

α.  Wherefore, let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses encompassing us, 

β.  laying aside every weight and the sin which discomfiteth all about, 

Ϛ. tt'       χ.  run with patience the contest that is set before us, (12:1)

     looking unto the originator and completer of faithfulness, Jesus, 

ο.  who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, unmindful of the shame, 

ω.  and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (12:2) (cf. 1:3, 8:1, 10:12)

_______________________________________________________

α. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,

α. j          χ. in your souls being faint. (12:3)

ο. Not yet have ye resisted unto blood, 

ω. striving against sin. (12:4)

α. And ye have utterly forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto sons, 

β. MY SON, DESPISE NOT THOU THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD,

ο. FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE DISCIPLINETH,

ω. AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH [Prov. 3:11‑12]. (12:6)

α. If ye endure discipline, 

β. God dealeth with you as with sons; 

Ζ. tj                             χ. t          ξ. for what son is he whom the father disciplineth not? (12:7)

ο. But if ye be without discipline, whereof all are partakers, 

ω. then are ye bastards, and not sons. (12:8)

ς. Furthermore we indeed had as disciplinarians fathers of our flesh, 

j  and we gave them respect: 

ο.       ζ. shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, 

t  and live? (12:9)

η. For they indeed for a few days disciplined as it seemed right to them; 

but he unto our benefit, for the sharing of his holiness. (12:10)

ς. Nonetheless all discipline for the present seemeth not to be joyous, but sorrowful: 

j  but afterward it rewardeth them which are exercised thereby with the peaceable fruit of righteousness. (12:11)

ω. jj   ζ. Wherefore the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, do ye lift up; (12:12)

α. For ye know how that also afterward [μετέπειτα],

β. t              ξ. he was rejected: 

ο. for he found no place of repentance [μετανοίας],

α. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched 

t'  and that burned with fire,

''   and the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (12:24) (cf. 11:4)

t'  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. 

α.   For if they escaped not who refused him that admonished on earth, 

t'  much less shall we, if we turn away from him that doth so from heaven: (12:25) (cf. 1:12)

β. whose voice shook the earth then:

j'  saying, YET ONCE MORE 

ω. jj                             χ.      I SHAKE not THE EARTH only, 

j'  but also HEAVEN [cf. Hag. 2:6]. (12:26)

j'  And this, YET ONCE MORE, 

ο. signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made,

''   Wherefore, receiving an unshakeable kingdom, let us have grace, 

ω.   whereby we may serve God acceptably with modesty and reverence: (12:28)

ς. Let love of brother abide. (13:1)

ζ. Of love of strangers be not forgetful: 

Α. j             for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (13:2)

η. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; 

j   them which suffer harm, as being yourselves also in the body. (13:3)

α. Honourable is marriage in all things, 

t'  and the bed undefiled 

β. (but fornicators and adulterers 

j   God will judge); (13:4)

Β.                      ξ. our manner without avarice, 

    being content with things present: 

ο. for he hath said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE,

j   NOR FORSAKE THEE [Jos. 1:5], (13:5)

ω. so that we may boldly say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER,

     AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME [cf. Ps. 55:10]. (13:6)

ς. Remember your leaders, such as have spoken unto you the Word of God. 

'   Beholding the end results of their conduct, imitate their faithfulness: (13:7)

Χ. t'        ζ. Jesus the Messiah, yesterday and today, is 

''  the same, and unto the ages; (13:8)

η. with doctrines divers and strange be not carried about. 

α. For it is good that the heart be established with grace; 

t'  not with foods, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. (13:9)

β. We have an altar, 

j   whereof they have no authority to eat which serve the tabernacle. (13:10)

Ο. '                    χ. For of those animals whose blood for sin is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest, 

j   of these the bodies are burned without the camp. (13:11)

ο. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might make holy the people with his own blood, 

j   suffered without the gate. (13:12)

ω. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
