Document Details : Title: Ἐξ ἑνός in Hebrews 2,11 Author(s): SWETNAM, James Journal: Biblica Volume: 88 Issue: 4 Date: 2007 Pages: 517-525 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.88.4.3189016 Abstract : The phrase ἐξ ἑνός in Heb 2,11 is a standard crux. The article attempts to come to grips with it through a close reading of the text of Heb 2,8bc-18. This close reading leads to the conclusion that the 'one' mentioned in is the spiritual seed of Abraham composed of all those who, like Abraham exercise faith-trust in God in the face of death. But this spiritual seed of Abraham is modified by the faith-trust of Jesus brought to the perfection of his heavenly priesthood. |
