For nowhere doth he take hold of the Angels. Literally, that he apprehendeth, or layeth hold on the Angels; that is, according to the common interpretation, we nowhere find that he hath united their nature to his divine person to save them, though a great part of them had also sinned and fallen from heaven. But he taketh the seed of Abraham; i.e. he became man of the seed or race of Abraham, to redeem or save mankind. (Witham)
Nowhere That is, he never took upon him the nature of Angels, but that of the seed of Abraham. (Challoner)
