follows to the work of others goes far beyond what is explicitly acknowledged here and throughout this commentary. If, however, without my acknowledgment there are substantial verbal correspondences to things they have said, these are due to a memory that has forgotten the source of its thought. In general, the attempt was to document sparingly in the spirit of this commentary’s aims. If I felt I had for some time already digested an idea, if it seemed common to several interpreters, if it seemed rather self-evident from the English version of Hebrews, if it was owing neither to the unique researches nor creative insight of a particular scholar, and if I was not relying on their wording for whole ideas, I probably let it go without a reference. I merely repeat my deep debt to my fellow interpreters, and in particular those already named. I have nothing I was not given.
