Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:10

Wherefore I was grieved - On the word “grieved,” see the notes at Ephesians 4:30. The word here means that he was offended with, or that he was indignant at them.They do always err in their heart - Their long trial of forty years had been sufficient to show that it was a characteristic of the people that they were disposed to wander from God. Forty years are enough to show what the character is. They had seen his works; they had been called to obey him; they had received his Law; and yet their... read more

Hebrews 3:10-11. Wherefore To speak after the manner of men; I was grieved Highly displeased; with that generation With the generality of this people; and said, They do always Notwithstanding all that I have done for them before their eyes; err in their heart Are led astray by their stubborn will and vile affections; and they have not known my ways Have not paid any regard to the clear discoveries of my will and design. They saw indeed God’s works, or the ways of his providence,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

Warning against unbelief (3:7-4:13)The writer warns his disheartened Jewish readers with some reminders from Israel’s experiences in the wilderness (see Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:1-13; Psalms 95:7-11). Those experiences show that people who appear to be God’s people may be so unbelieving, bitter and complaining, that they cannot enjoy the inheritance God has promised (7-11). They should resist the tendency to unbelief and stubbornness, by encouraging one another to maintain their faith with... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:10

10. grieved—displeased. Compare "walk contrary," Leviticus 26:24; Leviticus 26:28. that generation—"that" implies alienation and estrangement. But the oldest manuscripts read, "this." said—"grieved," or "displeased," at their first offense. Subsequently when they hardened their heart in unbelief still more, He sware in His wrath (Hebrews 3:11); an ascending gradation (compare Hebrews 3:17; Hebrews 3:18). and they have not known—Greek, "But these very persons," c. They perceived I was displeased... read more

II. THE HIGH PRIESTLY CHARACTER OF THE SON 3:1-5:10The writer proceeded to take up the terms "merciful" and "faithful" from Hebrews 2:17 and to expound them in reverse order. He spoke of the faithfulness of Jesus (Hebrews 3:1-6, exposition) and the need for his hearers to remain faithful as well (Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:14, exhortation). He then encouraged his audience with a reminder of Jesus’ compassion as a merciful high priest in the service of God (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 3:7-11

"Today" stresses the urgency of immediate action. This writer used it eight times in Hebrews. The context of the words quoted (Psalms 95:7-11) is very significant. The verses immediately preceding those quoted (Psalms 95:6-7 a) are a call to bow down and worship the Lord. That was the writer to the Hebrews’ desire for his readers. The words he quoted urge avoidance of Israel’s sin. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ initiated a new Exodus.". . . the writer of Hebrews appeals to his recipients not to... read more

B. The Danger of Disbelief (The Second Warning) 3:7-19"The comparison between Christ and Moses leads to one between their followers. The writer uses the conduct of the Israelites as a means of challenging his readers to a closer walk with God." [Note: Morris, p. 33.] The writer next reminded his readers of the fate of the Israelites when they failed to continue believing God at Kadesh Barnea. His purpose was to help them realize the serious consequences of that behavior and to motivate them to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

Jesus Christ, Lord of the Household of Gods(b) Christ is superior also to Moses; for He is Son over the house of God, whereas Moses was only a servant in it.1. Wherefore] A new section begins here, in which argument and exhortation are blended. The connexion with the preceding is not quite plain. It may lie in the fact that Christ has been described (Hebrews 2:10) as a Leader of salvation, conducting God’s children to glory, suggesting a similar function performed by Moses, the Leader of God’s... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 3:10

(10) I was grieved with that generation.—Rather, I was angry with this generation. The Hebrew is very strong: “I loathed a (whole) generation.” The first word, “Wherefore,” is not found in the Psalm, but is added to make the connection more distinct.And they have not known my ways.—Better, yet they took not knowledge of My ways. Although throughout the forty years He had shown to them their disobedience and His displeasure, yet the warning and discipline were fruitless. They gained no knowledge... read more
