Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:7

7. I come—rather, "I am come" (see on Hebrews 10:1). "Here we have the creed, as it were, of Jesus: 'I am come to fulfil the law,' Matthew 5:17; to preach, Mark 1:38; to call sinners to repentance, Luke 5:32; to send a sword and to set men at variance, Matthew 10:34; Matthew 10:35; I came down from heaven to do the will of Him that sent me, John 6:38; John 6:39 (so here, Psalms 40:7; Psalms 40:8); I am sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Psalms 40:8- :; I am come into this world for... read more

3. The accomplishment of our high priest 10:1-18This section on the high priestly ministry of Christ (Hebrews 7:1 to Hebrews 10:18) concludes with this pericope in which the writer emphasized the perfecting effect of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on New Covenant believers. He wrote this to impress his readers further with the superiority of their condition compared with that of Old Covenant believers.As pointed out previously, Hebrews 7:1 to Hebrews 10:18 constitutes an exposition of distinctive... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:5-7

This biblical writer liked to clinch his argument by appealing to Scripture."His argument up till now has been the negative one that the animal sacrifices of the old covenant were unavailing. Now he says positively that Christ’s sacrifice, which established the new covenant, was effectual. It really put away sin. And it was foreshadowed in the same passage from Jeremiah." [Note: Morris, p. 97.] The passage he quoted first (Psalms 40:6-8) expresses Messiah’s commitment to offer His body as a... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

Sacrifice Complete in the Fulfilment of God’s Will. The Open Way to GodRecapitulation and close of the argument. The sacrifices of the Law were ineffective to cleanse the conscience, as shown by their continual repetition (Hebrews 10:1-4). In the mind of God they were temporary. But the offering of Christ is a sacrifice that accomplishes the will of God and consecrates us as the people of a new covenant (Hebrews 10:5-10). That it is efficacious and final is also proved by the session of Christ... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 10:6

(6) Burnt offerings.—Better, whole burnt offerings. These (which were the symbol of complete consecration) are not mentioned in this Epistle, except in this verse and Hebrews 10:8.Thou hast had no pleasure.—Better (for conformity with the preceding clauses), Thou hadst no pleasure. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 10:7

(7) Lo, I come.—Rather, Lo, I am come—I am here. The original meaning of the following words is not quite certain. The Hebrew admits of two renderings. (1) Then I said, Lo, I am come! in the roll of the Book it is prescribed unto me; (2) Then I said, Lo, I am come with the roll of the Book that is written concerning me. The “roll of the Book” is the roll containing the Divine Law. The next clause is quite distinct in construction: “I delight to do Thy will, O God; yea, Thy law is within my... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:4 To a modern these words have an antiquated sound. The world of ideas which they suggest has passed so entirely away that we look back upon the stage they represent as a stage far below us, so far, indeed, that it is barely conceivable. But they were originally the apex of a long ascent The quiet decisiveness and even scorn with which the writer sets down this conviction breathe a feeling of relief, after the long centuries of persistent and unavailing sacrifices. Humanity is... read more

Encouragements (Hebrews 10:32-39 ) Hebrews 10:1-18 The precious truth the apostle has unfolded in the preceding chapters concerning Christ, His one offering He made, His own blood by which He entered once for all into the holy place the one all sufficient sacrifice, which has an eternal value and can never be repeated, is now still more practically... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

The attentive reader cannot but notice the thoroughness with which this subject is treated in these chapters. It is a matter of profound importance, basic as regards any true knowledge of God, and as to approaching the presence of God. Law could not give any such revelation. "For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would... read more
