Hebrews 2:7

You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor. ¹ 

You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour

"YOU HAVE MADE HIM FOR A LITTLE WHILE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS; YOU HAVE CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR, AND HAVE APPOINTED HIM OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

For a little while you made him lower than the angels, and you crowned him with glory and honor.

You made them not quite as high as angels, bright with Eden's dawn light;

You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

You have made them for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned them with glory and honor,

You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.

You made him lower than the angels for a little while. You crowned him with glory and honor. ¹ 

¹ tc Several witnesses, many of them early and important (א A C D* P Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 al lat co), have at the end of v 7, “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands.” Other mss, not quite as impressive in weight, lack the words (Ì⁴⁶ B D² Ï). 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 LXX). Conformity of a NT quotation of the OT to the LXX was a routine scribal activity, and can hardly be in doubt here as to the cause of the longer reading.
