Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 2:2

_ _ (Compare Hebrews 2:3.) Argument a fortiori.

_ _ spoken by angels — the Mosaic law spoken by the ministration of angels (Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalms 68:17; Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19). When it is said, Exodus 20:1, “God spake,” it is meant He spake by angels as His mouthpiece, or at least angels repeating in unison with His voice the words of the Decalogue; whereas the Gospel was first spoken by the Lord alone.

_ _ was steadfastGreek,was made steadfast,” or “confirmed”: was enforced by penalties on those violating it.

_ _ transgression — by doing evil; literally, overstepping its bounds: a positive violation of it.

_ _ disobedience — by neglecting to do good: a negative violation of it.

_ _ recompense — (Deuteronomy 32:35).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 2:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 2:2

In giving the law, God spoke by angels; but in proclaiming the gospel, by his Son. Steadfast — Firm and valid. Every transgression — Commission of sin. Every disobedience — Omission of duty.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 2:2

For if the (c) word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

(c) The Law which appointed punishment for the offenders: and which Paul says was given by angels, (Galatians 3:19) and by Stephen also in, (Acts 7:53).
