Allusion

Later text

Hebrews 1:3BSB

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Earlier text

Psalms 110:1BSB

A Psalm of David. The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."

Significance

First of five allusions to Psalm 110:1 in Hebrews (1:3; 1:13; 8:1; 10:12-13; 12:2). Establishes the exaltation theme and Christ's session at God's right hand after completing his atoning work. The seated posture contrasts with Levitical priests who stood daily offering repeated sacrifices, signaling the finality and sufficiency of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice. This royal psalm becomes foundational to Hebrews' entire argument about Christ's superiority and present heavenly ministry.
