ISB ~ Hebrews 2 v2

declared by angels:Jewish and Christian tradition held that angels delivered the Torah to Moses at Sinai (Acts 7:53; Gal 3:19; Josephus Antiquities 15, 136). For the author, this implies that NT revelation, which came directly from the divine Lord Jesus, is not only superior to OT revelation, but comes with more severe consequences for those who reject it.

• Angelic mediation of the Law is connected with the Greek version of Deut 33:2, where the “flaming fire” burning around Yahweh on Sinai is rendered “angels”.
