Acts 2.33
33 τῇ δεξιᾷ οὖν τοῦ θεοῦ ὑψωθείς, τήν τε ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου λαβὼν παρὰ τοῦ πατρός, ἐξέχεεν τοῦτο ὃ ὑμεῖς [καὶ] βλέπετε καὶ ἀκούετε.
THi DECIAi OUN TOU QEOU hUYWQEIS, THN TE EPAGGELIAN TOU PNEUMATOS TOU hAGIOU LABWN PARATOU PATROS, ECEXEEN TOUTO hO hUMEIS [KAI] BLEPETE KAI AKOUETE
31 τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσεν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ [τοῦ] δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
TOUTON hO QEOS ARXHGON KAI SWTHRA hUYWSEN THi DECIAi AUTOU [TOU DOUNAI METANOIAN TWi ISRAHL KAI AFESIN hAMARTIWN
While THi DECIAi frequently is used to designate the stative position of Christ I see a factor which would lead to the conclusion that this involves movement toward a goal.
When used statively, it usually has a stative verb, i.e. one describing a state. See Mt 24.64
4 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· σὺ εἶπας. πλὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· ἀπʼ ἄρτι ὄψεσθε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καθήμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
LEGEI AUTWi hO IHSOUS, "SU EIPAS; PLHN LEGW hUMIN, 'AP' ARTI OYESQE TON hUION TOU ANQRWPOU
*** KAQHMENON *** EK DECIWN THS DUNAMEWS
Here, in these two passages in your question, we have a verb which describes an action rather than a state in hUYOW and would therefore seem to require a locative decribing the goal of the action.

learn truth, love truth, speak the truth, hold the truth,
defend the truth till death.

Dear b-greekers,
I've noticed that the several versions, on translating the dative in Acts 2:33 and 5:31, are divided between at/to God's right hand, and with/by God's right hand. Would any of the two translations, for some reason, be better or more probable?
