OET interlinear HEB 7:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὁ δὲ

the_‹one› on_the_other_hand

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 him for the age

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 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]
