Hebrews 2:5

Exposition of Psalm 8: Jesus and the Destiny of Humanity

2:5 For he did not put the world to come, ³  about which we are speaking, ⁴  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, ⁵  now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, ⁶  so that by God’s grace he would experience ⁷  death on behalf of everyone.

[69:30]  ¹ tn Heb “I will praise the name of God with a song.”

[69:30]  ² tn Heb “I will magnify him with thanks.”

[2:5]  ³ 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.

[2:5]  ⁴ sn See the previous reference to the world in Heb 1:6.

[2:9]  ⁵ tn Or “who was made a little lower than the angels.”

[2:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “because of the suffering of death.”

[2:9]  ⁷ 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).
