G3588–ὁ–ho

So that you may not be slow in heart, but may take as your example those to whom God has given their heritage, because of their faith and their long waiting.

τῶν tōn “of those”τὰς tas “the”

For when God made his oath to Abraham, because there was no greater oath, he made it by himself,

τῷ tō “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

τῆς tēs “the”

For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

τοῦ tou “[one]”ὁ ho “in the”

So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

τὸν ton “<the>”οἱ hoi “<the>”τῆς tēs “of what”

And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “that”τοῦ tou “the”

Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “the”

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “who”τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

τῷ tō “as the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

τῶν tōn “the”ὁ ho “the”

And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

οἱ hoi “those”τῶν tōn “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “from the”τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “from the”τῆς tēs “the”

But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

ὁ ho “The [one]”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸν ton “the [one who]”τὰς tas “the”

But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “the”

And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

ὁ ho “the [one]”

Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”

Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order

τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “the”

Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

τῆς tēs “the”

For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

τῷ tō “at the”

Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

ὁ ho “the”

And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

τὴν tēn “the”

For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

τὸ to “<the>”

(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

ὁ ho “the”τῷ tō “<the>”

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

οἱ hoi “those ones”ὁ ho “[He]”τοῦ tou “the [One] who”τὸν ton “the”τὴν tēn “the”
