Hebrews: OT Allusions

"Whatever the identity of the scholar who wrote the NT book of Hebrews, he fulfills the description [Matt 13.52] admirably, bringing to his task a rich mix of skills, both rhetorical and rabbinic, drawing from the ancient texts at his disposal and presenting them in light of his received christocentric tradition, with the intention of offering strong encouragement to a beleaguered community."    -----George Guthrie in CotOTUotNT

Ch. 01 - 7
Ch. 02 - 5
Ch. 03 - 4
Ch. 04 - 3
Ch. 05 - 3
Ch. 06 - 1

Ch. 11 - 36
Ch. 12 - 11
Ch. 13 - 8
Genesis -             22   primarily in chapter 11 
Psalms -               21   primarily toward the beginning of the book 
Exodus -              14  primarily in chapters 9 & 11 
Numbers -            6 
Deuteronomy -     4 

Heb. 01.2  "heir of all things" - allusion to Psalm 2.8  "...I will give the nations for Your
inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possessions."  The author has taken the 
"nations" and "ends of the earth" of the psalm verse and interpreted them expansively as "all
things."  -----George Guthrie in CotOTUotNT p.942  It seems to be a pretty weak allusion to 
me.
Hbr 01.5 Quotation of the LXX phrase from  Psa 2.7  "You are my Son, Today I have begotten you."   "In Psalm 2, "The psalmist asserts that this rebellion will be smashed by the awesome, overwhelming power of the King whom God has enthroned in Mount Zion."  --Guthrie in NIVAC p.68   This emphasizes the Son's unique relationship with the Father.
