OET interlinear HEB 7:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὁ δὲ

the_‹one› on_the_other_hand

Here, the words but and on the other hand introduce the second part of the contrast that the author began in 7:23. Make sure you express the idea here in a way that matches how you introduced the first half of the contrast in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “and on the other hand, he” or “but second, he”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ὁ

the_‹one›

Here, the word he refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that the pronoun refers to Jesus. Alternate translation: “the Son” or “Jesus the Son”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

/to_be/_remaining him for the age

Here, the phrase remains forever means something similar to the phrase “indestructible life” in 7:16: Jesus lives forever, that is, he will never die. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he remains alive forever” or “he lives without end”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην

permanent /is/_holding the priesthood

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of priesthood, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “imitate.” Alternate translation: “is permanently a priest” or “permanently acts as a priest”
