This book

This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Hebrews) is available too.

The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.

Two manuscript lists

ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.

Book catalog
Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
ECM (Editio Critica Maior)
The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
ECM at this verse
Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.

ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.2But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.4So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.5For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father” ? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son” ?6And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”7Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”8But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”10And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.11They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.12You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”13Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet” ?14Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
