Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase en tē doxē sou {ἐν τῇ δόξῃ σου | en tē dóxē sou} ‘in Your glory’ sets the spatial and eschatological sphere in which these seats are envisioned, likely alluding to the Son of Man’s future exalted reign. In translation, the hina-clause is rendered formally with “that we may sit” to preserve the subjunctive nuance of intention, while “one at Your right … and one at Your left” maintains the balanced parallel structure of the Greek and reflects the idiomatic sense of the genitive plurals as “right side” and “left side.”
Root and etymology
