Hello,
I'm new to this list, although I've posted before on b-Hebrew, if any of you
are members of that list too, so it's possible you might recognise me from
there (I know nothing about Hebrew or Greek).
I was reading the letter to the Hebrews recently, and I have a question
about Heb. 13:20-21. The question is to do with what was 'the blood of the
eternal covenant' used for.
In versions like the ESV (and the KJV) these two verses say things like
this: -
"Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip
you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which
is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and
ever. Amen."
Here's my question: -
-Does the phrase ' ... by the blood of the eternal covenant ... ' refer to
how God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead? Like this: -
' ... the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus ... by
the blood of the eternal covenant ... '
-Or, does the phrase refer to how God equips believers with everything good?
Like this: -
'Now may the God of peace ... by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip
you with everything good ... '
Thanks.
Luke
