Robertson Word Pictures - Hebrews 1:8 - 1:8


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

O God (ho theos). This quotation (the fifth) is from Psa 45:7. A Hebrew nuptial ode (epithalamium) for a king treated here as Messianic. It is not certain whether ho theos is here the vocative (address with the nominative form as in Joh 20:28 with the Messiah termed theos as is possible, Joh 1:18) or ho theos is nominative (subject or predicate) with estin (is) understood: “God is thy throne” or “Thy throne is God.” Either makes good sense.

Sceptre (rabdos). Old word for walking-stick, staff (Heb 11:21).
