Key observations: - θυσιαστήριον (thysiastērion) = altar — "We have an altar" - σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες = "those serving the tabernacle" — present active participle, ongoing service - ἐξουσίαν = "authority/right" — they have no right to eat from this altar - The "eating" vocabulary (φαγεῖν, aorist infinitive of esthio) connects to the chattat eating rule of Lev 6:26
Hebrews 13:11¶
Greek: ὧν γὰρ εἰσφέρεται ζῴων τὸ αἷμα περὶ ἁμαρτίας εἰς τὰ ἅγια διὰ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως, τούτων τὰ σώματα κατακαίεται ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.

| τῆς | ὁ | G3588 | Gen Sg F |
| παρεμβολῆς | παρεμβολή | G3925 | Gen Sg F |
Key observations: - εἰσφέρεται (present passive) = "is brought in" — the blood is being carried into the sanctuary - τὰ ἅγια (accusative plural neuter) = "the holy places/sanctuary" — not just the courtyard but the interior sanctuary - διὰ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως = "through/by the high priest" — genitive of agency; this identifies the DOA chattat specifically (only the high priest enters the Most Holy Place) - περὶ ἁμαρτίας = "concerning sin" — the standard Greek phrase for the sin offering (cf. LXX rendering of chattaah) - κατακαίεται (present passive) = "are burned" — LXX equivalent of saraph (total combustion, not qatar/altar-smoke) - ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς = "outside the camp" — direct echo of מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה
Hebrews 13:12¶
Greek: διὸ καὶ Ἰησοῦς, ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος τὸν λαόν, ἔξω τῆς πύλης ἔπαθεν.

| τῆς | ὁ | G3588 | Gen Sg F |
| πύλης | πύλη | G4439 | Gen Sg F |
| ἔπαθεν | πάσχω | G3958 | Aor Act Ind 3S |
Key observations: - διὸ καί = "therefore also" — inferential conjunction drawing consequence from v.11 - ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ = "in order that he might sanctify" — purpose clause with aorist active subjunctive; this is THE stated purpose of Jesus suffering outside - διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος = "through his own blood" — ἰδίου (his own) emphasizes personal possession; cf. Heb 9:12 "by his own blood" - τὸν λαόν = "the people" — λαός, covenant-people vocabulary - ἔξω τῆς πύλης = "outside the gate" — SHIFT from παρεμβολῆς (camp) in v.11 to πύλης (gate) in v.12 - ἔπαθεν = "he suffered" — aorist active indicative; the main verb is placed emphatically LAST in the sentence
Structural note: The sentence structure is: "Therefore also Jesus — in order that he might sanctify the people through his own blood — outside the gate suffered." The purpose clause (ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ) is sandwiched between the subject (Jesus) and the main verb (suffered), with the spatial phrase (ἔξω τῆς πύλης) placed immediately before the verb for emphasis.
Hebrews 13:13¶
Greek: τοίνυν ἐξερχώμεθα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ φέροντες·

| αὐτοῦ | αὐτός | G846 | Gen Sg M |
| φέροντες | φέρω | G5342 | Pres Act Ptcp Nom Pl M |
Key observations: - ἐξερχώμεθα = "let us go out" — present middle/passive subjunctive (hortatory: "let us..."); the verb ἐξέρχομαι (go out) contains the same ἐξ- prefix as ἔξω (outside) - πρὸς αὐτόν = "to him" — the destination is personal (Christ), not spatial - ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς = "outside the camp" — REVERTS to camp language (parembole), not gate (pyle). The shift v.11 camp → v.12 gate → v.13 camp is deliberate. - τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ φέροντες = "bearing his reproach" — φέροντες is present active participle (ongoing action); ὀνειδισμός (G3680, reproach) echoes Heb 11:26 "the reproach of Christ" - The ethical exhortation transforms the spatial typology: going "outside the camp" = identifying with Christ's rejection and shame
Hebrews 13:14¶

| μέλλουσαν | μέλλω | G3195 | Pres Act Ptcp Acc Sg F |
| ἐπιζητοῦμεν | ἐπιζητέω | G1934 | Pres Act Ind 1P |
Key observations: - πόλιν (polis) = "city" — shifts vocabulary again, from camp (v.13) to city - μένουσαν (present participle of meno) = "remaining/abiding" — no enduring city here - τὴν μέλλουσαν = "the one about to come" — the eschatological city - The progression: camp (v.11) → gate (v.12) → camp (v.13) → city (v.14) maps the theological argument from Levitical to Jerusalemic to eschatological space
Hebrews 13:15¶
Greek: δι' αὐτοῦ οὖν ἀναφέρωμεν θυσίαν αἰνέσεως διὰ παντὸς τῷ Θεῷ, τοῦτ' ἔστιν καρπὸν χειλέων ὁμολογούντων τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.

| παντὸς | πᾶς | G3956 | Gen Sg N |
| τῷ | ὁ | G3588 | Dat Sg M |
| Θεῷ | θεός | G2316 | Dat Sg M |
Key observations: - δι' αὐτοῦ = "through him" — the mediator - ἀναφέρωμεν (present active subjunctive) = "let us offer up" — hortatory, matching v.13's "let us go out" - θυσίαν αἰνέσεως = "sacrifice of praise" — the sacrifice offered outside the camp is not animal but verbal praise - The argument concludes: from the chattat altar (v.10) through outside the camp (vv.11-13) to the spiritual sacrifice (v.15)
Hebrews 9:13¶
Greek: εἰ γὰρ τὸ αἷμα τράγων καὶ ταύρων καὶ σποδὸς δαμάλεως ῥαντίζουσα τοὺς κεκοινωμένους ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα,
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |

| αἷμα | αἷμα | G129 | Nom Sg N |
| τράγων | τράγος | G5131 | Gen Pl M ("goats") |
| ταύρων | ταῦρος | G5022 | Gen Pl M ("bulls") |

| ἁγιάζει | ἁγιάζω | G37 | Pres Act Ind 3S ("sanctifies") |
| καθαρότητα | καθαρότης | G2514 | Acc Sg F ("purification") |
Key observations: - Three subjects of ἁγιάζει: (1) blood of goats, (2) blood of bulls, (3) ashes of a heifer sprinkling the defiled - κεκοινωμένους = "those having been defiled" — perfect passive participle of koinoo (to make common/unclean) - ἁγιάζει πρὸς τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς καθαρότητα = "sanctifies toward the purification of the flesh" — only fleshly/external purification - The author groups the red heifer ashes with the blood of goats and bulls as the lesser term in the a fortiori argument
Hebrews 9:14¶
Greek: πόσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ... καθαριεῖ τὴν συνείδησιν ἡμῶν ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων
| Word | Lemma | Strong's | Parsing |
|---|---|---|---|
| πόσῳ μᾶλλον | πόσος + μᾶλλον | G4214 + G3123 | "how much more" |
| αἷμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ | αἷμα + Χριστός | G129 + G5547 | "blood of Christ" |

| συνείδησιν | συνείδησις | G4893 | Acc Sg F ("conscience") |
| νεκρῶν ἔργων | νεκρός + ἔργον | G3498 + G2041 | "dead works" |
Key observations: - The a fortiori: if ashes+blood → fleshly katharotes, how much more blood of Christ → conscience purification - καθαριεῖ (future active) = "will purge" — the verb shifts from hagiazo in v.13 to katharizo in v.14 - ἀπὸ νεκρῶν ἔργων = "from dead works" — the impurity being cleansed is spiritual (dead works), not physical (corpse contamination as in Num 19) - The upgrade: external → internal; flesh → conscience; temporary → permanent
