To the Hebrews, 1

¹ God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets,

² has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things.^*1

Or, “the orders of things.” Gr., tous ai·oʹnas; Lat., saeʹcu·la; J22(Heb.), ha·ʽoh·la·mimʹ.

³ He is the reflection^*1 of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being,^*2 and he sustains all things by the word of his power; and after he had made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty^*3 in lofty places.

Lit., “beaming forth from.”
Or, “the image imprinted by his substance.”
Lit., “of the Greatness.” Gr., tes Me·ga·lo·syʹnes; Lat., Ma·ie·staʹtis; J17,18,22(Heb.), hag·Gedhul·lahʹ.

⁴ So he has become better than the angels, to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.

⁵ For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say: “You are my son; I, today, I have become your father”? And again: “I myself shall become his father, and he himself will become my son”?

⁶ But when he again brings his Firstborn into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all God’s angels do obeisance to^*1 him.”

Or, “let . . . worship.” Gr., pro·sky·ne·saʹto·san; Lat., a·doʹrent. See 2Ki 2:15 and ftn.

⁷ Also, with reference to the angels he says: “And he makes his angels spirits, and his public servants^*1 a flame of fire.”

Lit., “public workers.” Gr., lei·tour·gousʹ.

⁸ But with reference to the Son: “God is your throne forever and ever, and [the] scepter of your^*1 kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.^*2

“Your,” ADItVgSyh,p and Ps 45:6; P46אB, “his.”
Lit., “staff of the straightness.”

⁹ You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with [the] oil of exultation more than your partners.”

¹⁰ And: “You at [the] beginning, O Lord, laid the foundations of the earth itself, and the heavens are [the] works of your hands.

¹¹ They themselves will perish,^*1 but you yourself are to remain continually; and just like an outer garment they will all grow old,

Lit., “will destroy themselves.”

¹² and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as an outer garment;^*1 and they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will never run out.”

“As an outer garment,” P46אABD; VgSyp and TR omit.

¹³ But with reference to which one of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits for public service, sent forth to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?
