Did Moses prophecy that when Jesus arrived on the earth that all angels should praise Jesus? ~ Cross reference of Hebrews 1:6 to Deuteronomy 32:43
Deuteronomy 32 is the chapter where Moses has to die. Before he dies, he prophesies about how Israel will go away from G-d and fall for idolatry. Moses recalls how lovingly G-d cared for them 40 years in the wilderness and how Israel could do such an evil thing.
Moses they prophesies that G-d will use gentile nations to punish Israel and once their punishment is done, he will restore them.
The passage that is quoted as a cross reference does not talk about any angels but the same gentiles nations that will subdue Israel to rejoice for Israel, as G-d will restore Israel and they can do nothing about it.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.
My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.
G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
Deuteronomy 32:43 Sing out praise, O you nations, for His people! For He will avenge the blood of His servants, inflict revenge upon His adversaries, and appease His land [and] His people.
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
Deuteronomy 32:43 Sing out praise, O you nations, for His people! For He will avenge the blood of His servants, inflict revenge upon His adversaries, and appease His land [and] His people.
- If anyone reads the whole chapter, they will see that Paul quoting verse 43 to say that the nations will rejoice because they have become a part of g-d's covenant is just a lie.
- Moses first recalls how G-d took care of Israel for 40 years through the wilderness and protected them from all harm
- Deuteronomy 32:9 Because the Lord's portion is His people Jacob, the lot of His inheritance. 10 He found them in a desert land, and in a desolate, howling wasteland. He encompassed them and bestowed understanding upon them; He protected them as the pupil of His eye. 11 As an eagle awakens its nest, hovering over its fledglings, it spreads its wings, taking them and carrying them on its pinions. 12 [So] the Lord guided them alone, and there was no alien deity with Him.
- Moses then prophesies about how Israel will move away from G-d and will worship idols.
- Deuteronomy 32:15 And Jeshurun became fat and rebelled; you grew fat, thick and rotund; [Israel] forsook the God Who made them, and spurned the [Mighty] Rock of their salvation. 16 They provoked His zeal with alien worship; they made Him angry with abominations deeds. 17 They sacrificed to demons, which have no power, deities they did not know, new things that only recently came, which your forefathers did not fear.
- Then Moses prophesies that G-d will use the gentile nations to punish them for defying and moving away from such a loving G-d.
- Deuteronomy 32:21 They have provoked My jealousy with a non god, provoked My anger with their vanities. Thus, I will provoke their jealousy with a non people, provoke their anger with a foolish nation. 23 I will link evils upon them. I will use up My arrows on them.
- Moses then prophesies that G-d will save Israel, because these gentile nations will think that they on their own strength were able to destroy G-d's people and not realize that G-d was punishing Israel through them. Moses also says that these nations will go to the extreme because these nations are ruthless in their punishment to Israel.
- Deuteronomy 32:27 Were it not that the enemy's wrath was heaped up, lest their adversaries distort; lest they claim, "Our hand was triumphant! The Lord did none of this!" 28 For they are a nation devoid of counsel, and they have no understanding. 29 If they were wise, they would understand this; they would reflect upon their fate. 30 How can one [person] pursue a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their [Mighty] Rock has sold them out, and the Lord has given them over?
- The passage that Hebrews quotes just says the opposite, it says let the nations rejoice for Israel as from now G-d will avenge the nations for the evil that they did to Israel.
- Deuteronomy 32:43 Sing out praise, O you nations, for His people! For He will avenge the blood of His servants, inflict revenge upon His adversaries, and appease His land [and] His people.
