‏ Hebrews 10:9

 The which ( αιτινες ). "Which very things" ( θυσια ).

 Then hath he said ( τοτε ειρηκεν ). That is Christ. Perfect active indicative with which compare  τοτε ειπον (second aorist active) in verse 7 which is quoted again.

 He taketh away the first ( αναιρε το πρωτον ). Present active indicative of  αναιρεω, to take up, to abolish, of a man to kill (Mt 2:16). By "the first" ( το πρωτον ) he means the system of animal sacrifices in verse 8.

 That he may establish the second ( ινα το δευτερον στηση ). Purpose clause with  ινα and the first aorist active (transitive) subjunctive of  ιστημ, to place. By "the second" ( το δευτερον ) he means doing God's will as shown in verse 9 (following verse 8). This is the author's exegesis of the Psalm.
