Footnotes

  1. 8 Several witnesses, many of them early and important (א A C D* P Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 lat co), have at the end of v 7, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands.” Other , not quite as impressive in weight, lack the words (𝔓46 B D2 𝔐). In spite of the impressive external evidence for the longer reading, it is most likely a scribal addition to conform the text of Hebrews to Ps 8:6 (8:7 ). Conformity of a NT quotation of the OT to the was a routine scribal activity, and can hardly be in doubt here as to the cause of the longer reading.
