Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hebrews 3:7-19

IIThe threatening of the Old Testament, that unbelievers shall not enter into the rest of God, is all the more to be taken to heart by the New Testament people of GodHebrews 3:7-197 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: To-day if ye will [om. will] hear his voice, 8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, 9 when [where οὗ] your fathers tempted me, proved me [by proving],6 and saw my works [during] forty years. 10Wherefore I was grieved [was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-11

Superior to Moses Hebrews 3:1-11 Dwell on those opening words:- holy , such is God’s ideal for us; brethren , by reason of our union with Christ, and with one another in Him; partakers, etc ., God is ever calling upward and heavenward. Jesus comes from God as Apostle and goes for us to God as Priest . In His human life, how humble and faithful; but He originally built the Jewish polity and commonwealth! He was and is as much greater than Moses as the architect than the foreman and the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

The argument now passed to the second claim of superiority, that over all human leaders. He is first seen as superior to Moses and Joshua. He is "the Apostle" completely fulfilling the function represented by the work of these two; He is also 'High Priest," thus realizing everything suggested in the position of Aaron. The position of Moses was that of a servant in the house of God. His faithfulness was shown in that he made all things according to the pattern. The spiritual house of God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:7-9

The Illustration (Hebrews 3:7-11 ). ‘Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, at (or ‘like as on’) the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tried me by proving me, and saw my work forty years.” ’ ‘Wherefore,’ because they are the house over which Christ is the Son, and because of what He has been revealed to be, let them remember the words of the Holy Spirit, by responding to Him in faith.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:10

“Wherefore I was severely displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways.” As a result of their murmuring and their provocation of God, God’s severe displeasure came on that whole generation, because, as He said, ‘they erred in their hearts and did not know His ways’. First their hearts were wrong, and then it resulted in wrong behaviour. The inference is that his readers must beware lest the same thing be true of them. Note those two... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:11

“As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.” And the result was that God turned against them because of their permanently set attitude of heart, with the result that He swore in His reaction to their behaviour (humanly speaking described as ‘in His anger’), ‘They shall not enter into my rest’. In the case of Israel that rest was Canaan (Deuteronomy 12:9), the place where they were to enjoy peace, and rest, and security. In other words they lost their future hope of life in a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:1-19

Hebrews 3:1 to Hebrews 4:13 . As Christ is higher than the angels, so He is greater than Moses, through whom the first covenant was established. The comparison with Moses, however, occupies only a few verses, and merges in a warning to avoid the fate of those Israelites whom Moses led. read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:7-16

Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:13 . With this warning the comparison between Christ and Moses changes into an exhortation, based on Psalms 95:7-1 Kings :. This psalm is concerned with the “ house” or community of which Moses was the head, and its lessons are applied to the “ house” of the new covenant. The ancient people of God missed their destiny because of unbelief, and Christians must be on their guard against a like danger. After making his quotation the writer proceeds to explain it by his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 3:7

The Spirit enforceth his counsel for those Hebrews’ improvement of his doctrine about the gospel Prophet, by alleging a sad example of their fathers refusing to hear and obey him, from Hebrews 3:7-11. The allegation might be best placed in parenthesis, and the introductive illative particle: Wherefore, may refer to Hebrews 3:12; Take heed, brethren. As the Holy Ghost saith; as the Spirit, the Holy One, that third relation in the Trinity, whose essence is holiness, is the author of what the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 3:8

Harden not your hearts: to help in the former duty the Spirit subjoins this negative counsel. That is styled hard, which will not yield to any impression: make not your heart a stone, so as not to understand, believe, or obey God’s voice to it, Deuteronomy 15:17; 1 Samuel 6:6; for God requires them to be fleshy tables, to write his will on, 2 Corinthians 3:3. The hardening of this part is the hardening of the whole person, and when hardened by themselves, is provoking God’s judicial hardening... read more
