Hebrews 1:10

1:10 And,

“You founded the earth in the beginning, Lord, ¹ 

and the heavens are the works of your hands.

Hebrews 3:9

3:9 “There your fathers tested me and tried me, ²  and they saw my works for forty years.

[1:10]  ¹ sn You founded the earth…your years will never run out. In its original setting Ps 102:25-27 refers to the work of God in creation, but here in Hebrews 1:10-12 the writer employs it in reference to Christ, the Lord, making a strong argument for the essential deity of the Son.

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “tested me by trial.”
