OET interlinear HEB 10:19

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

οὖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Οὖν ἀδελφοί παρρησίαν εἰς τήν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ)

The word Therefore introduces an exhortation that is based on at least [8:1–10:18](../08/01.md), and perhaps all of [5:1–10:18](../05/01.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that introduces how someone applies what they have taught. Alternate translation: [Because of all that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀδελφοί

brothers

Although the word brothers is masculine, the author is using it to refer to all believers, both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word that applies to both men and women or you could refer to both genders. Alternate translation: [brothers and sisters]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἔχοντες

having

The word having introduces a basis or reason for the author’s exhortation to “approach” in [10:22](../10/22.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that clearly introduces a basis or reason. Alternate translation: [since we have] or [because we have]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔχοντες & παρρησίαν

having & confidence

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of confidence, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “confident” or “authorized.” Alternate translation: [being confident] or [being authorized]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον

for (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔχοντες Οὖν ἀδελφοί παρρησίαν εἰς τήν εἴσοδον τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ)

The word translated as to enter could refer primarily to: (1) the “entry-way” or “entrance” that belongs to the heavenly sanctuary. This option is more likely if you consider the phrase the holy places to refer to a sanctuary that is in heaven. Alternate translation: [with regard to the entrance of] or [concerning the entry-way of]; (2) the act of “entering” the heavenly sanctuary. This option is more likely if you consider the phrase the holy places to refer primarily to God’s presence. Alternate translation: [for entering into]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν ἁγίων

˱of˲_the holy_‹places›

The phrase the holy places could refer to: (1) the inner section of the heavenly sanctuary. Alternate translation: [the Most Holy Place in heaven]; (2) the entire heavenly sanctuary. Alternate translation: [the heavenly sanctuary]; (3) God’s presence, metaphorically. Alternate translation: [God’s holy presence]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῷ αἵματι Ἰησοῦ

by the blood ˱of˲_Jesus

Scholars debate what the blood of Jesus represents in Hebrews. It could refer to his resurrected body, his death, or his actual blood. See the book introduction for more information on what Jesus’ blood refers to. Since blood is a very important concept in Hebrews, preserve the word here if at all possible. Alternate translation: [by Jesus’ blood, which is his sacrifice] or [by the blood of Jesus, that is, his death]
