HEBREWS
Chapter 1
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:1 | In many and various drakhim (ways) Hashem in amolike times (olden times) spoke to the Avot by the Nevi'im. | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:2 | At the Ketz HaYamim Hashem spoke to us by HaBen, whom He appointed Bechor of the Bechorah, Yoresh Kol (Heir of All Things), through whom also Hashem barah es HaShomayim v'es HaAretz; | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:3 | who being the Shekhinah zohar (brilliance) of Hashem and the exact impress and demut of Hashem's essential nature, being, and reality, and sustaining everything by His dvar haKo'ach, after He made tihur (purification) of chata'im (sins), sat down at LIMIN ("the right hand"--Tehillim 110:1) of the Majesty on High. | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:4 | He had become as much superior to the malachim as ha-Shem (the Name) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has inherited is more fest (excellent) than theirs. THE CHOCHMAH HASHOMAYIM, THE CHOCHMAH-BEN HAELOHIM REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH (MISHLE 8:30; 30:4) IS SUPERIOR TO MALACHIM; THE RABBI BRINGS DOWN A NUMBER OF CITATIONS TO SUPPORT HIS CHIDUSHIM (POINTS) | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:5 | For to which of the malachim did Hashem ever say, "BENI ATAH, ANI HAYOM YELIDTICHA," ("My Son you are; Today I have become your Father." Tehillim 2:7)? And again, "ANI EH'H'YEH LO L'AV V'HU YIHEYEH LI L'BEN" "I will be to Him a Father and He will be to Me as a Son" Shmuel Bais 7:14)? | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:6 | And again, when Hashem brings HaBechor into the Olam Hazeh, He says, "Let all Hashem's malachim worship him." [Devarim 32:43 Targum Ha-Shivim (Septuagint)] | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:7 | And of the malachim, Hashem says "OSEH MALAKHAV RUCHOT MESHARTAV AISH L'HET" ("He makes his angels winds and his servants [ministering angels] flaming fire." Tehillim 104:4) | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:8 | And Hashem says to HaBen, "KIS'AHCHA ELOHIM OLAM VAED SHEVET MISHOR SHEVET MALKHUTECHA" ("Your throne, G-d, will endure for ever and ever, and the scepter of justice is the scepter of the your kingdom"--Tehillim 45:7) | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:9 | "AHAVTA TZEDEK VATISNA RE'SHA, AL KEN MESHAKHACHA ELOHIM, ELOHECHA SHEMEN SASON MECHAVERECHA" ("You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; on account of this G-d, your G-d, anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions"--Tehillim 45:8) | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:10 | and "Atah Adonoy LEFANIM HA'ARETZ YASADETA UMA'ASEH YADECHA SHOMAYIM; HEMMAH YOVEDU V'ATAH TA'AMOD V'KHULAM KABEGED YIVLU KALVUSH TACHALIFEM V'YACHLOFU V'ATAH HU USHENOTECHA LO YITAMU" ("You L-rd in the beginning founded the earth and the heavens the work of your hands; | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:11 | they will perish but you remain and all of them like the garment they will wear out, | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:12 | like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded, but you are the same and the years of you they never come to an end"--Tehillim 102:26-28 [25-27]). | |
Hebr | OrthJBC | 1:13 | And to which of the malachim has Hashem ever said, "SHEV LIMINI AD ASHIT OYVECHA HADOM LERAGLECHA" ("Sit at the my right hand until I put your enemies as a foot stool of your feet" Tehillim 110:1)? | |
