The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:5-7

Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body didst thou prepare me: In whole burnt offering and offerings for sin thou hadst no pleasure: Then said I, Lo, I am come (in the volume (i.e. roll) of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. The quotation is from Psalms 40:6 , Psalms 40:7 , Psalms 40:8 . It is entitled "a psalm of David," nor is there anything in the psalm itself incompatible with his authorship. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:5-10

The imperfect sacrifices and the perfect Sacrifice. "Wherefore when he cometh into the world," etc. I. THE IMPERFECT SACRIFICES . The imperfection of the legal sacrifices has been exhibited already with considerable fullness. In the preceding verses of this chapter it is pointed out that they were mere shadows of the true Sacrifice; they could not cleanse the offerers, or take away their sins. Another aspect of this imperfection is brought into view in our text. These sacrifices... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:6

In burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure - This is not quoted literally from the Psalm, but the sense is retained. The reading there is, “burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.” The quotation by the apostle is taken from the Septuagint, with the change of a single word, which does not materially affect the sense - the word ὀυκ ἐυδόκησας ouk eudokēsas - “ouk eudokesas” - “thou hast no pleasure,” instead of ὀυκ ἠθέλησας ouk ēthelēsas - “ouk... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:7

Then said I - “I the Messiah.” Paul applies this directly to Christ, showing that he regarded the passage in the Psalms as referring to him as the speaker.Lo, I come - Come into the world; Hebrews 10:5. It is not easy to see how this could be applied to David in any circumstance of his life. There was no situation in which he could say that, since sacrifices and offerings were not what was demanded, he came to do the will of God in the place or stead of them. The time here referred to by the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:5-10

Hebrews 10:5-10. Wherefore As if he had said, Because the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sins, therefore Christ offered himself as a sacrifice to do it. When he cometh into the world That is, when the Messiah is described by David as making his entrance into the world; he saith He is represented by that inspired writer as saying, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not Accept for a sufficient expiation and full satisfaction for sin; but thou hast provided something of... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Sacrifice under the new covenant (9:23-10:18)Levitical sacrifices were part of a material order and brought symbolic cleansing. Christ’s death is concerned with the spiritual order and brings actual cleansing (23). The Levitical high priest entered the symbolic presence of God with the blood of a sacrificial animal, a ceremony that had to be repeated yearly. Christ entered God’s real presence on account of his own blood, and he did so only once. His death is sufficient to remove completely the... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:7

Hebrews 10:7. In the volume of the book— That is, in the Pentateuch. The apostle argues so plainly from this text, that it proves the psalm to which he refers, to be a literal prophesyof the Messiah: and consequently the 12th verse of it, which affords the only material argument against this interpretation, must either be explained of those iniquities, which though not properly Christ's own, were laid upon him, that is, were atoned for by him, (see Isaiah 53:6.); or rather those calamities... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:6

6. burnt offerings—Greek, "whole burnt offerings." thou hast had no pleasure—as if these could in themselves atone for sin: God had pleasure in (Greek, "approved," or "was well pleased with") them, in so far as they were an act of obedience to His positive command under the Old Testament, but not as having an intrinsic efficacy such as Christ's sacrifice had.
