34. Recitative (tenor) – Unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou
art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
|
| Psalm 2:7 cited in Hebrews 1:5 |
|
אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה אֶֽ֫ל־חֹ֥ק יְֽהוָ֗ה אָמַ֘ר אֵלַ֥י בְּנִ֥י אַ֑תָּה אֲ֝נִ֗י הַיּ֥וֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ |
7 [I will recount the decree. Yahweh promised to me: ] You are my son. I myself this day gave birth to you. |

35. Chorus – Let all the angels of God worship him.
|
| Psalm 97:7 -- perhaps a source for Hebrews 1:6 |
| יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ כָּל־עֹ֬בְדֵי פֶ֗סֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִ֥ים בָּאֱלִילִ֑ים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־ל֝וֹ כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים |
7 [All servants of a graven image will be ashamed, boasting in the good for nothing.] Worship him all gods. | |

Possibly -- but via a series of associations -- an allusion to the invitation to nations in the Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:43). The angels (gods) worship from a restful subdominant.
36. Air (mezzo-soprano) – Thou art gone up on high; thou hast led captivity captive, and received gifts for men: yea, even for thine enemies, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
|
| Psalm 68:19 [18] (Ephesians 4:8) |
|
עָ֘לִ֤יתָ לַמָּר֨וֹם ׀ שָׁ֘בִ֤יתָ שֶּׁ֗בִי לָקַ֣חְתָּ מַ֭תָּנוֹת
בָּאָדָ֑ם וְאַ֥ף ס֝וֹרְרִ֗ים לִשְׁכֹּ֤ן ׀ יָ֬הּ אֱלֹהִֽים |
19 ♪~ You have ascended on high.
Captives you have captured. You have received endowments for
humanity, and also the rebellious in the dwelling of Yah, God. |

The punctuated ornament on the high C is not infrequent in a musical phrase. This one set in a major-minor mode highlights rebellion in the dwelling of God.
