The Scriptures 1998

Hebrews 6:11-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness, to the entire confirmation of expectation until the end,

12. in order that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through belief and patience inherit the promises.

13. For Elohim, having promised Aḇraham, since He could swear by no one greater, swore by Himself,

14. saying, “Truly, blessing I shall bless you, and increasing I shall increase you.”

15. And so, after being patient, he obtained the promise.

16. For men do indeed swear by the one greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

17. In this way Elohim, resolving to show even more clearly to the heirs of promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, confirmed it by an oath,

18. so that by two unchangeable matters in which it is impossible for Elohim to lie, we might have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the expectation set before us,

19. which we have as an anchor of the life, both safe and firm, and entering into that within the veil,

20. where יהושע has entered as a forerunner for us, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.
