In the song of Moses, in the Greek translation: rejoice with him, O heavens, and let all God's angels worship him. And Psalm 97: worship him, all you gods.

A case where a difference in the text matters. The line 'let all the angels of God worship him' is not in the standard Hebrew text of Deuteronomy, and so not in the King James either. But it is in the Greek translation, and also in a Hebrew fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Hebrews uses it for the moment God 'bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world': the angels, who in Judaism were never to be worshipped, worship the Son. Originally the text was about God himself.
