Commentary on Hebrews 1:13

Theological / Devotional

The angels. The anticipated answer to the question (cf. on v. 5) is, “God never called an angel ‘my Son,’ neither did He ever invite one to sit at His right hand — to share His position and prerogatives.”

Sit on my right hand. A citation from Ps. 110:1. See on Heb. 1:3.

Thine enemies thy footstool. A reference to an Oriental custom according to which the victor placed his foot on the neck of his enemies as a sign of their submission. Compare Jesus’ reference to this statement from the psalms (Luke 20:42, 43).
