Hebrews 2:6
But one somewhere (de pou tiv). See Hebrews 4:4 for a like indefinite quotation. Philo uses this "literary mannerism" (Moffatt). He quotes Psalms 8:5-7 and extends here to Hebrews 2:8.
Hath testified (diemarturato). First aorist middle indicative of diamarturomai, old verb to testify vigorously (Acts 2:40).
What (Ti). Neuter, not masculine tiv (who). The insignificance of man is implied.
The son of man (uiov anqrwpou). Not o uiov tou anqrwpou 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 (episkepth). Second person singular present indicative middle of episkeptomai, old verb to look upon, to look after, to go to see (Matthew 25:36), from which verb episcopov, overseer, bishop, comes.
