L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

"Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling." Let us keep in mind that this is addressed to Jewish believers. How great a contrast to that which their own religion had taught them! Earthly hopes now they must leave behind, and as "holy brethren," set apart by virtue of identification with the blessed Person of the Lord Jesus, were to recognize themselves as partakers of the heavenly calling. Israel in rejecting their Messiah had forfeited all title to their longedfor earthly... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-19

COMPARED WITH MOSES AND JOSHUA The superiority of Christ to Moses is shown in chapter 3, the comparison in which case runs in two parallel lines of two members each: 1. Moses a servant over God’s house (Hebrews 3:5 ). 2. Christ a Son over His own house (Hebrews 3:6 ). That is an interesting phrase, “Whose house are we” (Hebrews 3:6 ), suggesting a plan for a sermon. In what sense are believers Christ’s house? He built them: “without him was not anything made that was made.” He bought them:... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

(7) Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, (8) Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: (9) When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. (10) Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. (11) So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:11

As I have sworn in my wrath: [1] if they shall enter into my rest. But if here implies the same as they shall not. See Mark viii. 12. And that this is the sense here, appears by the 18th verse, where it is expressly said, they should not enter into his rest; i.e. to rest in the land of Chanaan [Canaan], promised to them.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:7-13

7-13 Days of temptation are often days of provocation. But to provoke God, when he is letting us see that we entirely depend and live upon him, is a provocation indeed. The hardening of the heart is the spring of all other sins. The sins of others, especially of our relations, should be warnings to us. All sin, especially sin committed by God's professing, privileged people, not only provokes God, but it grieves him. God is loth to destroy any in, or for their sin; he waits long to be gracious... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-99

Hebrews 3 THE FIRST CHAPTER has presented to us the Lord Jesus as the Apostle, that is, as the Sent One, who came forth from God to us, bringing us the Divine revelation. The second set Him before us as the High Priest, who has gone in from us to God, representing us and maintaining our cause in His presence. Now we are bidden to consider Him very thoroughly in both these characters. We are to set our minds to it as those who aim at discovering all that is involved. These Hebrews had taken up... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 3:7-14

A warning lesson from the history of Moses: v. 7. Wherefore, (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear His voice, v. 8. harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, v. 9. when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years. v. 10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways. v. 11. So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My... read more
