Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis martyrion {εἰς μαρτύριον | eis martýrion} expresses purpose, “for a testimony,” and governs the genitive phrase tōn lalēthēsoménōn {τῶν λαληθησομένων | tōn lalēthēsoménōn}, where the future passive participle denotes “the things that will be spoken,” pointing forward to later revelation. The Greek word order moves from subject and quality (Moses, faithful), to sphere (in all His house), to role (as a servant), and finally to purpose and scope (for a testimony to future spoken things). The English renderings preserve this logical progression while smoothing word order slightly to maintain natural subject–verb–complement flow and to clarify the future orientation of the participial phrase.
In context — Hebrews 3:5
And Moses was indeed faithful in all His house as a servant , for a testimony to the things that were to be spoken.
