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

  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.

  1. Lit., “beaming forth from.”

  2. Or, “the image imprinted by his substance.”

  3. 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.”

  1. 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.”

  1. 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

  1. “Your,” ADItVgSyh,p and Ps 45:6; P46אB, “his.”

  2. 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,

  1. 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.”

  1. “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?
