Hebrews 2:5

Exposition of Psalm 8: Jesus and the Destiny of Humanity

2:5 For he did not put the world to come, ⁶  about which we are speaking, ⁷  under the control of angels.

Hebrews 2:9

2:9 but we see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, ⁸  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ⁹  so that by God’s grace he would experience ¹⁰  death on behalf of everyone.

¹ tn Heb “Most High.” This divine title (עֶלְיוֹן, ’elyon) pictures God as the exalted ruler of the universe who vindicates the innocent and judges the wicked. See especially Pss 7:17; 9:2; 18:13; 21:7; 47:2.

² tn Or “for a thank offering.”

³ tn See the notes on Lev 2:4.

⁴ tn See the note on Lev 6:21 [6:14 HT].

⁵ tn Heb “choice wheat flour well soaked ring-shaped loaves.” See the note on Lev 2:1.

⁶ sn The phrase the world to come means “the coming inhabited earth,” using the Greek term which describes the world of people and their civilizations.

⁷ sn See the previous reference to the world in Heb 1:6.

⁸ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

⁹ tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “would taste.” Here the Greek verb does not mean “sample a small amount” (as a typical English reader might infer from the word “taste”), but “experience something cognitively or emotionally; come to know something” (cf. BDAG 195 s.v. γεύομαι 2).
