Heb 2:1-18. Danger of neglecting so great salvation, first spoken by Christ; to Whom, not to angels, the new dispensation was subjected; though He was for a time humbled below the angels: This humiliation took place by divine necessity for our salvation.

Therefore - Because Christ the Mediator of the new covenant is so far (Heb 1:5-14) above all angels, the mediators of the old covenant.

the more earnest - Greek, “the more abundantly.”

heard - spoken by God (Heb 1:1); and by the Lord (Heb 2:3).

let them slip - literally “flow past them” (Heb 4:1).
