Speaking to the Hebrews, Paul just finished the 'Faith Chapter' listing all the Patriarchs and those of faith in the Old Testament. He is now in chapter 12 speaking to those who would become disciples or imitators of Christ - in context for all the world to see, we are to be perfect like Jesus was in all we do, not being concerned with 'discipline' from God who does so to the children He loves:
Hebrews 12:1-3New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 1:1 - God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,[NKJV]In this instance, "fathers" is a reference to the Old Testament patriarchs; those to whom God spoke "in time past." Men such as Abraham, Isaac, David, etc.
There is no mention of Melchizedek weeping in the New Testament. The only reference to Melchizedek in the New Testament is in the book of Hebrews, specifically in Hebrews 5:6, 6:20, and 7:1-17, where Melchizedek is described as a priestly figure.

Oh, what a lovely question! In the book of Hebrews, the word "better" appears 13 times. Isn't that just delightful? It's like finding little hidden treasures as you read through the pages. Keep exploring, my friend, and enjoy the journey through this beautiful book.
Before James in the New Testament is Hebrews and after James is 1 Peter.

There is no verse in Hebrews 1 that could bring into question that Jesus is not God. On the contrary the chapter puts forth Jesus very well as God.
It is in Hebrews 27 verse 9. The phrase "the harrowing of hell" does not appear in the King James, New King James, Standard, or NIV translations of the Bible. The word "harrow" appears in 2 Samuel 12:31; 1 Chronicles 20:3; Job 39:10 and Isaiah 28:24 (in the Standard version), where it refers to a sharp cutting implement or a plow. It is not associated with hell in those passages. It most certainly is not in Hebrews 27:9...Hebrews has only thirteen chapters.
God's command (Genesis 12:1).
Hebrews 1:7 - And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire."[NKJV]
The statement referred to in the question appears in the New Testament book of Hebrews, chapter 1 verse 2.
The word moth is found in 11 verse in the Bible and it refers to the clothes moth. Job 3 verses Psalms 1 verse Isaiah 2 verses Hosea 1 verse Matthew 2 verses Luke 1 verse James 1 verse
I take it into perspective as the verse saying to put God first.
Some interpret Hebrews 12:1 to say that. Here is Hebrews 12:1 in the New International Version: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
