Heb 1:6: Deut 32:43, Odes 2:43, or Ps 96:7 (97:7)

Says Heb 1:6 quotes Καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ, "Let all God's angels worship him."

Says The candidates as printed: Swete's Deut 32:43 has καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ θεοῦ, with F logged as πάντες ἄγγελοι for υἱοί, which matches Hebrews at that point; the rest of F's line is not logged. Odes 2:43 has καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι θεοῦ, differing only by οἱ. Ps 96:7 has προσκυνήσατε αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ (second person, "his angels"). The Hebrew of Ps 97:7 has הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כָּל־אֱלֹהִים (hishtakhavu-lo kol-elohim, "worship him, all gods"). The Hebrew of Deut 32:43 has no such line.

Uncertain Which text Hebrews quotes. This note leans to the Song (Deut 32:43, in a Greek form like F's or the Odes): καὶ and the third-person προσκυνησάτωσαν match it, and Ps 96:7 differs in person and in αὐτοῦ. The alternative is Ps 96:7, which shares αὐτῷ πάντες … ἄγγελοι, with Hebrews 1 quoting the Psalms elsewhere.
