Hebrews 1:6 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:6

The Son of God the Recipient of the worship of the angels. "And again, when he bringeth in the First-begotten," etc. This verse, as Ebrard remarks, "is unquestionably one of the most difficult in the whole Epistle." We have in it: 1. An august relationship. "His First-begotten." This title is appropriately applied to the Son of God: 2. A remarkable epoch. "And again, when he bringeth in the First-begotten into the world." There is much diversity of opinion as to what event in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:6

And again - Margin, “When he bringeth in again.” The proper construction of this sentence probably is, “But when, moreover, he brings in,” etc. The word “again” refers not to the fact that the Son of God is brought “again” into the world, implying that he had been introduced before; but it refers to the course of the apostle’s argument, or to the declaration which is made about the Messiah in another place. “The name Son is not only given to him as above, but also in another place, or on... read more

Hebrews 1:4-6. Being made Rather being; (for the word made is not implied in the original expression, γενομενος ;) so much better Higher; than the angels As the Jews gloried exceedingly in the law of Moses, on account of its being delivered by the ministry of angels, the apostle proves, by passages from the Jewish Scriptures, that the Son is superior in nature and dignity to all the angelical hosts. How much more then may we glory in the gospel, which was given, not by the ministry... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:5-14

Christ greater than angels (1:5-14)According to Jewish beliefs, angels were beings of a high order who fulfilled an important role in the giving of God’s law to Israel (Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19). The writer therefore shows from the Old Testament (which the Jews believed to be the Word of God) that Jesus Christ is greater than angels. His birth into the world as a man does not mean that he is inferior to angels. On the contrary, angels worship him, for he is God, inseparably united with his... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 1:6

And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.Scholars say that the author here quoted from the Septuagint translation of Psalms 97:7, the common versions reading, "Worship him all ye gods." Christ is here called the "firstborn," a favorite expression of Paul who referred to Christ as "the firstborn from the dead" (Colossians 1:18); and as "the firstborn of all creation" (Colossians 1:15). This expression emphasizes the honor and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 1:6

Hebrews 1:6. And let all the angels of God worship him— In proof of the infinite superiority of Christ over the angels, the apostle shews, that he was not only the Son of God, while even the highest of them were but servants; but that he was the object of their adoration and worship. It is matter of doubt, whence the quotation in this verse is taken; some taking it from Deu 32:43 and others from Psa 97:7 which seems the most probable. See the notes on that Psalm. Instead of spirits, in the next... read more

6. And—Greek, "But." Not only this proves His superiority, BUT a more decisive proof is Psalms 97:7, which shows that not only at His resurrection, but also in prospect of His being brought into the world (compare Hebrews 9:11; Hebrews 10:5) as man, in His incarnation, nativity (Hebrews 10:5- :), temptation (Matthew 4:10; Matthew 4:11), resurrection (Matthew 4:11- :), and future second advent in glory, angels were designed by God to be subject to Him. Compare Matthew 4:11- :, "seen of angels";... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 1:5-14

B. The Superiority of God’s SON 1:5-14The writer proceeded to explain the exaltation of Jesus Christ to help his readers appreciate the fact that He fulfilled Old Testament prophecy concerning the Son of David. He did this so they would appreciate Him properly and not overemphasize the importance of angels. Angels were very important in Judaism primarily because multitudes of them assisted God in giving the Mosaic Law at Mount Sinai (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalms 68:17; Acts 7:53; Galatians... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 1:6

We can see the superiority of the Son also in the third quotation from Deuteronomy 32:43 (in the Septuagint) in that the angels worship Him as Yahweh. "Again" may go with "brings" implying Jesus Christ’s second advent. [Note: Westcott, p. 22.] On the other hand, it may go with "says" implying the first advent. [Note: Bruce, p. 15.] In this case it would simply separate this quotation from the former one. The word order in the Greek text favors the first option, but the sense of the context... read more
