Hebrews 2:7

2:7 You made him lower than the angels for a little while.

You crowned him with glory and honor. ¹ 

Hebrews 4:10

4:10 For the one who enters God’s ²  rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

Hebrews 11:16

11:16 But as it is, ³  they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

¹ tc Several witnesses, many of them early and important (א A C D* P Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 al lat co), have at the end of v 7, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands.” Other mss, not quite as impressive in weight, lack the words (Ì⁴⁶ B D² Ï). In spite of the impressive external evidence for the longer reading, it is most likely a scribal addition to conform the text of Hebrews to Ps 8:6 (8:7 LXX). Conformity of a NT quotation of the OT to the LXX was a routine scribal activity, and can hardly be in doubt here as to the cause of the longer reading.

² tn Grk “his”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Grk “now.”
