Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 1:10

_ _ And — In another passage (Psalms 102:25-27) He says.

_ _ in the beginningEnglish Version, Psalms 102:25, “of old”: Hebrew, “before,” “aforetime.” The Septuagint, “in the beginning” (as in Genesis 1:1) answers by contrast to the end implied in “They shall perish,” etc. The Greek order here (not in the Septuagint) is, “Thou in the beginning, O Lord,” which throws the “Lord” into emphasis. “Christ is preached even in passages where many might contend that the Father was principally intended” [Bengel].

_ _ laid the foundation of — “firmly founded” is included in the idea of the Greek.

_ _ heavens — plural: not merely one, but manifold, and including various orders of heavenly intelligences (Ephesians 4:10).

_ _ works of thine hands — the heavens, as a woven veil or curtain spread out.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

(u) Made the earth firm and sure.
