8Wherefore he saith,
When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive,
And gave gifts unto men.
8 Therefore it says,
“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.”1
[1] 4:8 The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
“Ascending on high he led captivity captive;
he gave gifts to men.”
8for this reason, it says, “Having gone up on high He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men.”
Therefore it says, ``WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."
8That is why the Scriptures say,
“When he ascended to the heights,
he led a crowd of captives
and gave gifts to his people.”*4:8 Ps 68:18.
