Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:1-28 Hebrews 7 develops the main topic introduced in 5:1-10: Jesus’ appointment as a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Λευεὶς, ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων

Levi the_‹one› tithes receiving

Here, the name Levi refers to the descendants of Levi who were priests and collected tithes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make it explicit that Levi stands for the descendants of Levi. Alternate translation: “Levi’s descendants, the ones collecting tithes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δι’ Ἀβραὰμ & δεδεκάτωται

through Abraham & /has_been/_tithed

Here the author refers to how Abraham paid a tithe to Melchizedek, an event the author has already mentioned (See: 7:4). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “had paid a tithe to Melchizedek through Abraham after Abraham defeated his enemies”
