Hebrews 1:4-14 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.… That which the apostle here intendeth under this title "first-begotten," is to set forth the excellency of the person of Christ, as God-man, and that — 1. In His priority, which is eternity, as He is God (Proverbs 8:24, 25). 2. In His dignity, being the most excellent of all (Genesis 49:3). 3. In regard of His dominion over all (Psalm 2:6, 7). 4. In regard of the largeness of His inheritance (Psalm 2:8). (W. Gouge.)
