Greetings All,

The statement in Hebrews 2:16 uses the genitive for angels.

There are a number of thoughts on the use of the genitive here, as is
obvious from the various English translations.
I am wondering why the genitive is used, instead of the dative. Does anyone
have any suggestions on this?
