Hebrews 1:10

"And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands."

Key Reflection

Hebrews 1:10 quotes Psalm 102:25, attributing the creation and sustaining of the universe to God. This verse underscores the divine sovereignty and power of Christ by likening Him to the Creator who established both the earth's foundation and the heavens, using language reminiscent of the opening words of Genesis (Genesis 1:1). In doing so, it emphasizes Christ’s eternal and all-encompassing authority, aligning His role with that of God the Father in the biblical narrative.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 10. And. That is, "To add another instance;" or, "to the Son he saith in another place, or in the following language." This is connected with Heb 1:8. "Unto the Son he saith, (Heb 1:8,) Thy throne, etc.--and (Heb 1:10) he also saith, Thou Lord," etc. That this is the meaning is apparent, because (1.) the object of the whole quotation is to show the exalted character of the Son of God, and (2.) an address here to JEHOVAH would be wholly irrelevant.
