OET interlinear HEB 7:22

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

κατὰ τοσοῦτο

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: κατά τοσοῦτο καί κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς)

The phrase according to so much more introduces the second half of the comparison that the author began in the first part of [7:20](../07/20.md). The comparison indicates that the difference in greatness between a priesthood with an oath and a priesthood without an oath is comparable to the difference in greatness between the covenants of which these priesthoods are a part. In other words, the covenant that Jesus “guarantees” is greater than the covenant that God gave through Moses, just like his priesthood that is guaranteed by an oath is greater than the priesthood that God gave to the descendants of Levi. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that expresses a comparison between two situations or concepts. Alternate translation: [by that much] or [by so much]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κρείττονος διαθήκης

˱of˲_˓a˒_better covenant

The audience would have inferred that the covenant is better than the “old covenant,” the one that God gave through Moses to the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [of a covenant that is better than the covenant that God gave through Moses]
