OET interlinear HEB 7:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: μετατιθεμένης Γάρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καί νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται)

The word For introduces further explanation and support for the idea that the “basis” of the law is the priesthood (See: [7:11](../07/11.md)). The author’s point is that, because a change of the law occurs whenever the priesthood is changed, that means that the priesthood must be the basis for the law. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces further support for a previous claim. Alternate translation: [You can tell that the priesthood is the basis of the law, because] or [Indeed,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετατιθεμένης & τῆς ἱερωσύνης

˓being˒_replaced & the priesthood

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on what is changed rather than on the person doing the changing. If you must state who does the action, the author implies that God does it. Alternate translation: [when God changes the priesthood]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τῆς ἱερωσύνης

the priesthood

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of priesthood, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [how people act as priests]
