A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 2:16

"For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham." — Hebrews 2:16 (ASV)

Verily (δε που). "Now in some way," only here in N.T.

Doth he take hold (επιλαμβανετα). Present middle indicative and means to lay hold of, to help, like βοηθησα in verse 18.

The seed of Abraham (σπερματος Αβρααμ). The spiritual Israel (Galatians 3:29), children of faith (Romans 9:7).
