1.4 KiB
General Information:
This quotation comes from another Psalm.
But to which of the angels has God said at any time ... feet"?
The author uses a question to emphasize that God has never said this to an angel. AT: "But God has never said to an angel at any time ... feet.'" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Sit at my right hand
Here "right hand" refers to a place of honor. AT: "Sit next to me in the place of honor" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
until I make your enemies a stool for your feet
Christ's enemies are spoken of as if they will become an object on which a king rests his feet. This image represents defeat and dishonor for his enemies. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
Are not all angels spirits ... inherit salvation?
The author uses this question to remind the readers that angels are not as powerful as Christ, but they have a different role. AT: "All angels are spirits who ... inherit salvation." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
for those who will inherit salvation
Receiving what God has promised believers is spoken of as if it were inheriting property and wealth from a family member. AT: "for those whom God will save" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
