Hebrews 2:6-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 But one solemnly-testified somewhere saying, “What is man that You remember[a] him, or the son[b] of man that You look-after him? 7 You made him lower[c] than angels for a little[d] while. You crowned him with glory and honor. 8 You subjected all things under his feet” [Ps 8:4-6]. For[e] in the subjecting all things to him, He left nothing not-subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him.

- Hebrews 2:6 That is, keep him in mind for his benefit.
- Hebrews 2:6 The OT verse is an example of Hebrew parallelism, so this may mean the same as ‘man’ earlier; humanity or the offspring of humanity. The writer then applies this OT quote to Christ in v 9. Or, Son of Man, referring to Jesus; the writer applies this quote to Christ beginning right here. In this case, ‘his’ and ‘him’ in v 7-8 refer to Jesus.
- Hebrews 2:7 That is, in physical status, being mortal.
- Hebrews 2:7 Or, a little bit lower than angels.
- Hebrews 2:8 The writer draws his point from the psalm. God did not subject the coming world to angels, for He left nothing not subject to man (or, to Jesus).
