8:6But8 now Jesus9 has obtained a superior ministry, since10 the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted11 on better promises.12
Footnotes
- 8 The Greek text indicates a contrast between vv. 4–5 and v. 6 that is difficult to render in English: Jesus’ status in the old order of priests (vv. 4–5) versus his superior ministry (v. 6).
- 9 Grk “he”; in the translation the referent (Jesus) has been specified for clarity.
- 10 Grk “to the degree that.”
- 11 Grk “which is enacted.”
- 12 This linkage of the change in priesthood with a change in the law or the covenant goes back to Heb 7:12, 22 and is picked up again in Heb 9:6–15 and 10:1–18.
