OET interlinear HEB 10:15

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μαρτυρεῖ & ἡμῖν

˓is˒_testifying & ˱to˲_us

The author does not state what the Holy Spirit is “testifying” about. He implies that it is what he said in the previous verses about how Jesus’ offering effectively removes sin and leads to holiness and perfection (See: [10:12–14](../10/12.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [testifies to us that Christ takes away sins] or [testifies to us that Christ perfects his people]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

μετὰ γὰρ τὸ εἰρηκέναι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μαρτυρεῖ Δέ ἡμῖν καί τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον μετά γάρ τό εἰρηκέναι)

The author introduces a quote from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that the Holy Spirit has said to us. However, the audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from [Jeremiah 31:33](../../jer/31/33.md). If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify it. Alternate translation: [for after he spoke]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

μετὰ & τὸ εἰρηκέναι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μαρτυρεῖ Δέ ἡμῖν καί τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον μετά γάρ τό εἰρηκέναι)

The word after indicates that the author will refer to something that was said before something else was said. The first thing that was said could be: (1) all of [10:16](../10/16.md). The second thing is introduced by “And then” at the beginning of [10:17](../10/17.md). Alternate translation: [after he said these words from the Lord]; (2) the first part of [10:16](../10/16.md), up to “says the Lord.” The second is introduced by “says the Lord” and continues to the end of [10:17](../10/17.md). Alternate translation: [after the Holy Spirit said]
