Hebrews 2:7; Psalm 8:5

You made him for a little while lower than the angels;
you have crowned him with glory and honor,
(Hebrews 2:7 ESV)

God made man inferior in rank to the angels, but exalted him almost to their rank. God has bestowed honor on man's nature. Elevated honor conferred on human nature. The author later applies to Jesus. Jesus took exaltation to a greater level.
