Hebrews 1

The Nature of the Son

1Long ago God spoke # 1:1 Jn 9:29; Heb 2:2–3 to our ancestors by the prophets # 1:1 2Kg 17:13; 21:10; 24:2; Jr 7:25; 26:5; 29:19; 35:15; 44:4; Ezk 38:17; Dn 9:6; Hs 12:10; Zch 1:6; 8:9; Mt 2:23; Lk 1:70; 24:44; Ac 2:30; 3:21,24 at different times and in different ways. # 1:1 Nm 12:6,8; Jl 2:28 2In these last days, # 1:2 Ac 2:17; Gl 4:4; 2Tm 3:1; 2Pt 3:3; Jd 18 he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things # 1:2 Jr 3:19; 10:16; Zch 8:12 and made the universe # 1:2 Lit ages,# 1:2 Ps 2:8; Jn 1:3; Col 1:16; Rv 4:11 through him. 3The Son is the radiance # 1:3 Or reflection of God’s glory and the exact expression # 1:3 Or representation, or copy, or reproduction of his nature, # 1:3 2Co 4:4 sustaining all things by his powerful word. # 1:3 Ps 33:6 After making purification for sins, # 1:3 Other mss read for our sins by himself he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. # 1:3 Or he sat down on high at the right hand of the Majesty,# 1:3 Mt 22:44; Mk 16:19; Col 1:17 4So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs. # 1:4 Eph 1:21; Php 2:9

The Son Superior to Angels

5For to which of the angels did he ever say,

You are my Son;

today I have become your Father, # 1:5 Or have begotten you,# 1:5 Ps 2:7

or again,

I will be his Father,

and he will be my Son? # 1:5 2Sm 7:14; 1Ch 17:13,# 1:5 2Sm 7:14; Ps 2:7; Ac 13:33

6Again, when he # 1:6 Or When he again brings his firstborn into the world, # 1:6 Col 1:15,18; Rv 1:5 he says,

And let all God’s angels worship him. # 1:6 Dt 32:43 LXX; Ps 97:7,# 1:6 Dt 32:43; Ps 97:7

7And about the angels he says:

He makes his angels winds, # 1:7 Or spirits

and his servants # 1:7 Or ministers a fiery flame, # 1:7 Ps 104:4,# 1:7 Ps 104:4

8but to # 1:8 Or about the Son:

Your throne, God,

is forever and ever,

and the scepter of your kingdom

is a scepter of justice. # 1:8 Ps 45:6–7

9 You have loved righteousness

and hated lawlessness;

this is why God, your God,

has anointed you

with the oil of joy # 1:9 Is 61:1,3; Php 2:9

beyond your companions. # 1:9 Or associates,# 1:8–9 Ps 45:6–7

10And:

In the beginning, Lord,

you established the earth,

and the heavens are the works of your hands; # 1:10 Ps 102:25

11 they will perish, but you remain.

They will all wear out like clothing; # 1:11 Is 50:9; 51:6

12 you will roll them up like a cloak, # 1:12 Other mss omit like a cloak

and they will be changed like clothing.

But you are the same,

and your years will never end. # 1:10–12 Ps 102:25–27,# 1:12 Ps 102:26–27; Heb 13:8

13Now to which of the angels has he ever said:

Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies your footstool? # 1:13 Ps 110:1,# 1:13 Jos 10:24; Ps 110:1; Mt 22:44; Mk 12:36; Ac 2:34–35; Heb 10:13

14Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation? # 1:14 Ps 103:20; Mt 18:10; Heb 5:9

Hebrews 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 Shekhinah 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?
