4 when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [fn] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.

Thou didst humble him (to be) less than the angels; glory and honour hast thou placed upon his head, and hast empowered him over the work of thy hands,

and every thing hast thou put in subjection under his feet. [fn] in this, that he subjected every thing to him, he hath left nothing which he hath not subjected. Yet hitherto we see not that every thing is subjected to him.

9 But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha [fn] , in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!

For it was proper to him by whose hand are all, and on account of whom all are, (and who) would lead many sons to his glory, that the Prince [fn] of their salvation by sufferings should be perfected.

For he who sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren.

Forasmuch as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,

Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [fn] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people.

who was faithful to him who made him, as (was) Musha in all his house.

For greater is the glory of this (One) by far than (the glory) of Musha, even as the honour of him who built the house is far greater than [fn] his building.

And Musha, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for the testimony of those [fn] that were to be announced [fn] him;

6 but the Meshiha as THE SON over his [fn] house: and his house are we, if, unto the end, we shall hold fast our confidence [fn] , and the triumph [fn] of his hope.

Therefore the Spirit of Holiness hath said, to-day if ye will hear his voice,

As that it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice [fn] , harden not your hearts to provoke him.

And of whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but of them who would not be persuaded?

Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.

As he said concerning the shabath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

---moreover, (as) another day he appointeth, after much time; as above it is written, that David hath said, To-day if his voice ye will hear, harden not your hearts;

For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.

Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account [fn] .
