OET interlinear HEB 7:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὁ δὲ

the_‹one› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δέ διά τό μένειν αὐτόν εἰς τόν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τήν ἱερωσύνην)

The words but and on the other hand introduce the second part of the contrast that the author began in [7:23](../07/23.md). 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›

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 (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δέ διά τό μένειν αὐτόν εἰς τόν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τήν ἱερωσύνην)

The phrase remains forever means something similar to the phrase “indestructible life” in [7:16](../07/16.md): 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 (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ δέ διά τό μένειν αὐτόν εἰς τόν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τήν ἱερωσύνην)

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]
