Quotation · Hebrews 10:30
Go to Hebrews 10:30Hebrews joins two sentences from the Song of Moses: “Vengeance is mine” (32:35) and “The Lord will judge his people” (32:36).
Formula: οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα “for we know the one who said” (Hebrews 10:30)
See the original texts
Greek of the New Testament: οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα Ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω καὶ πάλιν Κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ
Hebrew (Masoretic text): לִי נָקָם וְשִׁלֵּם לְעֵת תָּמוּט רַגְלָם כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם אֵידָם וְחָשׁ עֲתִדֹת לָמוֹ כִּי יָדִין יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְעַל עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָם כִּי יִרְאֶה כִּי אָזְלַת יָד וְאֶפֶס עָצוּר וְעָזוּב
Septuagint (Deuteronomy 32:36 in the Septuagint numbering): ὅτι κρινεῖ Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ ἴδεν γὰρ παραλελυμένους αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐκλελοιπότας ἐν ἐπαγωγῇ
The Greek of the NT matches the Septuagint word for word in 5 consecutive words: “Κρινεῖ κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.”
