OET interlinear HEB 13:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό καί Ἰησοῦς ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ διά τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος τόν λαόν ἔξω τῆς πύλης ἔπαθεν)

The word So introduces a result or inference from what the author said in the previous verse about how the “bodies” of the sacrificed animals “are burned up outside the camp” (See: 13:11). The author means that how God set up the sacrifices in the tabernacle helps us understand what Jesus did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a result or inference. Alternate translation: [Because of that,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔπαθεν

suffered

The author uses the word suffer to refer specifically to Jesus’ death on the cross. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea explicitly. Alternate translation: [suffered and died]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔξω τῆς πύλης

outside the gate

The author is referring to how Jesus died in a place named “Golgotha,” which was outside the walls and “gates” of the city of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify what place outside the gate refers to. Alternate translation: [outside the gates of Jerusalem] or [outside the city gate]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λαόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Διό καί Ἰησοῦς ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ διά τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος τόν λαόν ἔξω τῆς πύλης ἔπαθεν)

The phrase the people refers to God’s people in general. It does not distinguish between Israelites and Christians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes it clear that the people refers to God’s people, to anyone who trusts God. Alternate translation: [his people] or [the people of God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος

his own blood

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: [his own blood, which is his sacrifice] or [his own blood, that is, his death]
