This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But one somewhere (de pou tis). See Heb 4:4 for a like indefinite quotation. Philo uses this “literary mannerism” (Moffatt). He quotes Psa 8:5-7 and extends here to Heb 2:8.
Hath testified (diemarturato). First aorist middle indicative of diamarturomai, old verb to testify vigorously (Act 2:40).
What (Ti). Neuter, not masculine tis (who). The insignificance of man is implied.
The son of man (huios anthrōpou). Not ho huios tou anthrōpou which Jesus used so often about himself, but literally here “son of man” like the same words so often in Ezekiel, without Messianic meaning here.
Visited (episkeptēi). Second person singular present indicative middle of episkeptomai, old verb to look upon, to look after, to go to see (Mat 25:36), from which verb episcopos, overseer, bishop, comes.
