The Greek Old Testament and a Dead Sea Scrolls version of Deuteronomy 32:43 contain words that apparently were lost from the standard Hebrew text, possibly because of the double occurrence of the word shout for joy or rejoice. Hebrews 1:6 appears to follow the longer text of Deuteronomy 32, although Psalm 95/96:7 could be an alternate source of this quotation (the Hebrew and Greek numbers of this psalm are not the same). Here are the variant readings:
Hebrew Rejoice, you nations, ⎣with⎦ his people. Greek Rejoice, you heavens, along with him,
and let all the sons of God worship him;
rejoice, you nations, with his people,
and let all the angels of God strengthen themselves in him;DSS Rejoice, you heavens, along with him, and let all the angels worship him; Heb 1:6 He says, “All God’s angels must worship him.” - Deuteronomy 32:44 That is, Joshua
