This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 1:12. Ἀλλάξεις, Thou shalt change.-ἀλλαγήσονται, they shall be changed) Many read for ἀλλάξεις, ἑλίξεις: but there is the one verb חלף twice in the Hebrew, which the LXX. often translate ἀλλάσσω, never by ἑλίσσω.[9]-Ὁ ΑὐΤῸς) הוא, the same, never another (anything different), without old age and change. See Hiller, Onom., p. 71, 262. So 1Sa 2:10 יהוה, LXX. Αὐτός.
[9] It must be observed, however, that the marg. of the 2d Ed., differing from the larger Ed., does not assign a greater value to the reading ἀλλάξεις than to ἑλίξεις. Umwenden, which is read in the Germ. Vers., accords with this. Therefore the latter views of Bengel are not refuted but confirmed by the decision which Ernesti gives, Bibl. th., T. vi., p. 6. But the same learned man, T. v., p. 216, reminds us that ἀλλάξεις and ἑλίξεις, in the idiom found in Hebraizing Greek, are the same as, Thou shalt abolish, shalt reduce to nothing. Let them so consider who can.-E. B
AB and the oldest MS. of Vulg. Amiat. have ἑλίξεις D(Δ) corrected, f, and Victor’s Vulg., have ἀλλάξεις.-ED.
