William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 3:7-19

3:7-19 So then, as the Holy Spirit says, "If today you will hear my voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the Provocation, as happened on the day of the Temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tried to test me, and, in consequence, experienced for forty years what I could do. So my anger was kindled against that generation, and I said, 'Always they wander in their hearts; they do not know my ways.' So I swore in my anger, 'Very certainly they shall not enter in to my rest.'" Have a... read more

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation ,.... דור המדבר , "the generation of the wilderness", as the Jews often call them; and which they say was more beloved than any generation F5 T. Hieros. Avoda Zara, fol. 39. 2. ; and yet they will not allow them a part in the world to come; See Gill on Hebrews 3:11 . When God is said to be grieved with them, it is to be considered as an anthropopathy, as speaking after the manner of men, as in Genesis 6:5 . The word signifies, that... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:10

Wherefore I was grieved - God represents himself as the Father of this great Jewish family, for whose comfort and support he had made every necessary provision, and to whom he had given every proof of tenderness and fatherly affection; and because, they disobeyed him, and walked ill that way in which they could not but be miserable, therefore he represents himself as grieved and exceedingly displeased with them. They do alway err in their hearts - Their affections are set on earthly... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:10

Verse 10 10.And I said, etc. This was God’s sentence, by which he declared that they were destitute of a sound mind, and he adds the reason, For they have not known my ways. In short, he regarded them as past hope, for they were without sense and reason. And here he assumed the character of man, who at length after long trials declares that he has discovered obstinate madness, for he says that they always went astray, and no hope of repentance appeared. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-11

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts . The warning, thus led up to, is now introduced by a long quotation from Psalms 95:1-11 ., which is cited at length, because the writer is about to dwell on its whole significance in the remainder of this and also in the succeeding chapter. The warning is connected by διὸ with the conclusion of Psalms 95:6 . Since our continuing to be God's house is on the condition of our steadfastness, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-11

There is an example here of the resources and adaptation of Old Testament Scripture to New Testament conditions. The sacred writer turns to the ninety-fifth psalm to give force to his remonstrances, and cautions against unbelief and disobedience. This part of the Psalter contains an impressive description of the conduct of the ancient tribes of Israel in their passage from Egypt to Canaan. There were two occasions on which the hardness of their hearts was specially and painfully manifest.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

Beware of unbelief. Eminent and honored though Moses had been, the generation of Hebrews whom he led out of Egypt became unbelieving and disobedient, and were in consequence overtaken by a dreadful doom. So the writer of this Epistle, realizing the strong temptations to relapse into Judaism which beset the Hebrew Christians, warns them against the still more dreadful consequences of apostasy from discipleship to Jesus Christ. I. A BESETTING SPIRITUAL DANGER . It is that of losing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

The comparison of Christ and Moses suggests the possibility of apostasy from Christ. As Christ and Moses occupied similar positions as leaders of the household of God, and Israel was faithless under the leadership of Moses, and came to ruin as the result, so it is possible that, under the leadership of Christ, there may be the same infidelity and the same bitter end. I. THE FEAR OF APOSTASY FROM CHRIST . This solemn exhortation is written to professing Christians; and such... read more
