Notes: A literal rendering of ‘he was still in the genitals of his father’ (RV HEB 7:10 · LV HEB 7:10 · Read together HEB 7:10) might be regarded in a number of languages as being excessively specific and even vulgar. It is possible to render this passage as simply ‘he was not as yet born’ or ‘his father had not yet caused him to be conceived.’ In RV ACT 2:30 · LV ACT 2:30 · Read together ACT 2:30 (καρποῦ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ ‘the fruit of his loins’) it may be best to translate ‘one of his descendants’ (see 10.34: καρπός).
