Of all the New Testament books, the Letter to the Hebrews emphasizes the function of God as the builder the most. This article analyzes only verse 3 : 4. Both the Polish and English translations of Hebrews 3:4 apply the term “builder” or the active participle of “to build” to God. In the way of contextual analysis, the author justifies a translation of Hebrews 3 : 4 that emphasizes God’s conceptual design in creating the universe.
