Hebrews 1
1
1In many and various drakhim (ways) Hashem in amolike times (olden times) spoke to the Avot by the Nevi'im.
2At the Ketz HaYamim, Hashem spoke to us by HaBen, whom He appointed Bechor of the Bechorah, Yoresh Kol (Heir of All Things), through whom also Hashem BARAH ES HASHOMAYIM V'ES HA'ARETZ;#1:2 see Prov 30:4
3Who being the Shechinah zohar (brilliance) of Hashem and the exact impress and demut of Hashemʼs essential nature, being, and reality, and sustaining everything by his Dvar HaKo'ach, after he made tihur (purification) of chatta'im (sins), sat down at LIMIN (the right hand)#1:3 Ps 110:1 of the Majesty on High.
4He had become as much superior to the malachim as ha-Shem (the Name) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has inherited is more fest (excellent) than theirs.
5For to which of the malachim did Hashem ever say, BENI ATAH, ANI HAYOM YELIDTICHA (My Son you are; today I have become your Father)?#1:5 Ps 2:7 And again, ANI EH'H'YEH LO L'AV V'HU YIHEYEH LI L'BEN (I will be to Him a Father and He will be to Me as a Son)?#1:5 2Sm 7:14
6And again, when Hashem brings HaBechor into the Olam Hazeh, He says, “Let all Hashemʼs malachim worship him.”#1:6 Dt 32:43 TARGUM HA-SHIVIM
7And of the malachim, Hashem says OSEH MALAKHAV RUCHOT MESHARTAV EISH L'HET (He makes his angels winds and his servants [i.e., ministering angels] flaming fire).#1:7 Ps 104:4
8And Hashem says to HaBen, KIS'AHCHA ELOHIM OLAM VAED SHEVET MISHOR SHEVET MALKHUTECHA (Your throne, O G-d, will endure for ever and ever, and the scepter of justice is the scepter of your kingdom).#1:8 Ps 45:7
9AHAVTA TZEDEK VATISNA RE'SHA, AL KEN MESHAKHACHA ELOHIM, ELOHEICHA SHEMEN SASSON MECHAVERECHA (You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; on account of this G-d, your G-d, anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions).#1:9 Ps 45:8
10And, Atah Adonoi LEFANIM HA'ARETZ YASADETA UMA'ASEH YADECHA SHOMAYIM (You L-rd in the beginning founded the earth and the heavens, the work of your hands);
11HEMMAH YOVEDU V'ATAH TA'AMOD V'KHULAM KABEGED YIVLU (They will perish but you remain and all of them like the garment they will wear out),
12KALVUSH TACHALIFEM V'YACHALOFU V'ATAH HU USHENOTECHA LO YITTAMMU (Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded, but you are the same and the years of you they never come to an end).#1:10-12 Ps 102:25-27; [26-28]
13And to which of the malachim has Hashem ever said, Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies as a footstool for your feet?#1:13 Ps 110:1
14Are not all RUCHOT#1:14 Ps 104:4 sharet (ministering spirits, malachey hasharet) sent out with the shlichus (mission) to do avodas kodesh service as Hashemʼs klei kodesh (ministers) on behalf of the ones being about to inherit Yeshu'at Eloheinu?

Hebrews 1
1
God’s final word: his Son
1In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
The Son superior to angels
5For to which of the angels did God ever say,
‘You are my Son;
today I have become your Father’#1:5 Psalm 2:7?
Or again,
‘I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son’#1:5 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13?
6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’#1:6 Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)
7In speaking of the angels he says,
‘He makes his angels spirits,
and his servants flames of fire.’#1:7 Psalm 104:4
8But about the Son he says,
‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a sceptre of justice will be the sceptre of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.’#1:9 Psalm 45:6,7
10He also says,
‘In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
12You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.’#1:12 Psalm 102:25-27
13To which of the angels did God ever say,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet’#1:13 Psalm 110:1?
14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
