# Hebrews 02 General Notes #

#### Structure and formatting ####

This chapter is about how Jesus is better than Moses, the great Jew.

Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in 2:6-8, 12-13, which is quoted from the OT.

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####

##### Brothers #####
The author probably uses the term "brothers" to refer to fellow Israelites and fellow Christians. Extra care should be taken to make sure the reference is clear. It may also be necessary to occasionally leave the referent vague. 

#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####

##### Prophecy #####
Jesus literally fulfilled these prophecies about the Messiah but the prophecies themselves often contain poetic or metaphorical language. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]], [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ]], and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
