This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 2:12. Λέγων, saying) Here three things are quoted from the Old Testament, by which the preceding discourse of the apostle is admirably confirmed, by Chiasmus, in retrograde order. For
the apostle mentions Christ says, in the words of the Old Testament,
Heb 2:12, Sons. Heb 2:13, at the end, I and the children.
Ibid., The perfecting, or consummation by sufferings. Heb 2:13, at the beginning, I will put My trust.
Heb 2:11, The relationship of Him who sanctifies, and of those who are sanctified. Heb 2:12, Unto My brethren.
And again, Heb 2:14-17, in inverted order, the children, and the successful work of Christ, and brethren, are mentioned. The two chains of quotations, ch. 1 on the Glory of Christ, ch. 2 on Redemption, most sweetly correspond to one another.-ἀπαγγελῶ-ὑμνήσω σε) Psa 22:23, LXX., διηγήσομαι: as to the rest, the words are the same. Messiah declares the name of the good Lord, which was unknown to His brethren, that the brethren may also praise Him. Ps. already quoted, ver. 24.-ὑμνήσω, I will sing) as the leader of the choir: comp. Psa 8:3.
