  1. Hebrews 4:7 tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Hebrews 4:7 sn Ps 95 in the Hebrew does not mention David either in the text or the superscription. The writer of Hebrews might attribute Psalms as a whole to David, though some psalms are specifically attributed to other individuals or groups. Yet the Greek inscription for Ps 95 in the LXX credits the psalm to David, and the author of Hebrews frequently uses the LXX.
  3. Hebrews 4:7 tn Grk “as it has been said before” (see Heb 3:7).
