Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἱερέα μέγαν

/a/_priest great

Here the author implies that the great priest is Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this idea more explicitly. Alternate translation: [a great priest, Jesus,]

ἱερέα μέγαν

/a/_priest great

Here, the phrase great priest could be: (1) a synonym for “high priest.” Alternate translation: [a high priest] (2) a description of the priest as great, or important and powerful. Alternate translation: [a priest who is great]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον

over the house

The phrase over the house is a spatial metaphor that indicates that the great priest rules or is in charge of the house. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in 3:6. Alternate translation: [in charge of the house]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ

the house ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, the word house refers to a group of people, here all God’s people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated house in 3:2. Alternate translation: [God’s tribe] or [God’s clan]
