‏ Hebrews 1:13

 Hath he said ( ειρηκεν ). Perfect active common use of the perfect for permanent record. This seventh quotation is proof of the Son's superiority as the Son of God (his deity) to angels and is from Ps 110:1, a Messianic Psalm frequently quoted in Hebrews.

 Sit thou ( καθου ). Second person singular imperative middle of  καθημα, to sit, for the longer form  καθησο, as in Mt 22:44; Jas 2:3.

 On my right hand ( εκ δεξιων μου ). "From my right." See 1:3 for  εν δεξια "at the right hand."

 Till I make ( εως αν θω ). Indefinite temporal clause about the future with  εως and the second aorist active subjunctive of  τιθημ with  αν (often not used), a regular and common idiom. Quoted also in Lu 20:43. For the pleonasm in  υποδιον and  των ποδων (objective genitive) see Mt 5:35.
