¹ In days gone by, God spoke in many and varied ways to the Fathers through the prophets.

² But now, in the acharit-hayamim, he has spoken to us through his Son, to whom he has given ownership of everything and through whom he created the universe.

³ This Son is the radiance of the Sh’khinah, the very expression of God’s essence, upholding all that exists by his powerful word; and after he had, through himself, made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of HaG’dulah BaM’romim. [1]

⁴ So he has become much better than angels, and the name God has given him is superior to theirs.

⁵ For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? [2] Also, God never said of any angel, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son.” [3]

⁶ And again, when God brings his Firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” [4]

⁷ Indeed, when speaking of angels, he says, “. . . who makes his angels winds and his servants fiery flames”; [5]

⁸ but to the Son, he says, “Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; you rule your Kingdom with a scepter of equity;

⁹ you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions”; [6]

¹⁰ and, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth; heaven is the work of your hands.

¹¹ They will vanish, but you will remain; like clothing, they will all grow old;

¹² and you will fold them up like a coat. Yes, they will be changed like clothing, but you remain the same, your years will never end.” [7]

¹³ Moreover, to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? [8]

¹⁴ Aren’t they all merely spirits who serve, sent out to help those whom God will deliver?
