1 G od, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Long ago God spoke to our early fathers in many different ways. He spoke through the early preachers.

2 H ath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

But in these last days He has spoken to us through His Son. God gave His Son everything. It was by His Son that God made the world.

3 W ho being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

The Son shines with the shining-greatness of the Father. The Son is as God is in every way. It is the Son Who holds up the whole world by the power of His Word. The Son gave His own life so we could be clean from all sin. After He had done that, He sat down on the right side of God in heaven. The Son Was Greater Than the Angels

4 B eing made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son of God was made greater and better than the angels. God gave Him a greater name than theirs.

5 F or unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

God did not say to any of His angels, “You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father.” And He did not say to any angel, “I will be a Father to Him. He will be a Son to Me.”

6 A nd again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

But when God brought His first-born Son, Jesus, into the world, He said, “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

7 A nd of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

He said this about the angels, “He makes His angels to be winds. He makes His servants a burning fire.”

8 B ut unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

But about His Son, He says, “O God, Your throne will last forever. Whatever You say in Your nation is right and good.

9 T hou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

You have loved what is right. You have hated what is wrong. That is why God, Your God, has chosen You. He has poured over You the oil of joy more than over anyone else.”

10 A nd, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

He said also, “Lord, You made the earth in the beginning. You made the heavens with Your hands.

11 T hey shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

They will be destroyed but You will always be here. They will all become old just as clothes become old.

12 A nd as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

You will roll up the heavens like a coat. They will be changed. But You are always the same. You will never grow old.”

13 B ut to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

God never said to any angel, “Sit at My right side, until I make those who hate You a place to rest Your feet.”

14 A re they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Are not all the angels spirits who work for God? They are sent out to help those who are to be saved from the punishment of sin.
