ISB ~ Hebrews 2 v9

taste death:A Semitic expression (Mt 16:28; Jn 18:52).

• Perhaps it recalls how Adam, in choosing to taste the forbidden fruit, subjected the human race to spiritual and biological death (Gen 3:17-19).

for every one:Jesus died on behalf of the entire human family. This was a representative act of consenting to death in filial obedience to the Father (Phil 2:8) and out of fraternal love for us (Eph 5:2) (CCC 624).
