Abstract :
By providing a detailed investigation of the use of three keywords in the introductory formula in Heb 1,6a, the article argues that the author deliberately alludes to Israel’s entry into the promised land in order to draw a parallel with the Son’s entry into the heavenly world. By comparing the introductory formula with those in the rest of the catena, the article shows the unique way in which Heb 1,6a introduces a major theme in Hebrews, namely the entry of God’s people into God’s presence as a result of the entry of the Son.
