Did you know there is an early tradition that the Letter to the Hebrews was written by Paul in Hebrew?

“[Clement of Alexandria] says that the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Paul, and that it was written to the Hebrews in the Hebrew language; but that Luke translated it carefully and published it for the Greeks, and hence the same style of expression is found in this epistle and in the Acts.
But he says that the words, Paul the Apostle, were probably not prefixed, because, in sending it to the Hebrews, who were prejudiced and suspicious of him, he wisely did not wish to repel them at the very beginning by giving his name.”
— Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 6.14.2–3, reporting Clement of Alexandria’s Hypotyposes
