Translation Note
τῷ ποιήσαντι αὐτόν is ποιέω, aorist active participle, dative singular masculine, “to the one who made” or “appointed.” The King James reads “appointed.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “the One who appointed him.” Its study note does not say “made.”
The Septuagint of 1 Samuel 12:6 uses the same verb: Κύριος ὁ ποιήσας τὸν Μωυσῆν καὶ τὸν Ἀαρών. The 1917 Jewish Publication Society reads “made” Moses and Aaron. Young’s Literal Translation reads “made.” The King James of that verse reads “advanced.” The American Standard Version and Brenton read “appointed.” The Textus Receptus of Hebrews 3:2 adds ὅλῳ, “all,” and does not change the verb.
