hebrews-3:13

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.) (12) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:13

To day. The duration of the present life may be accounted but a day, which God destines for the trial of our faith and obedience; we ought, therefore, to labour hard during the short time of the present day, that we may live and reign with God for all eternity. We cannot too often entertain this truth in our hearts, if we wish to square our lives after the gospel. The heart of man becomes insensibly hardened to Christian truths, when its natural corruption is not courageously attacked. read more

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

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

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 3:12-19

“Harden Not Your Hearts” Hebrews 3:12-19 There is a peril lest familiarity with God’s words should beget indifference to them. The path may be trodden hard by the sower’s feet. That story of the Wilderness wanderings is for all time. Still men disbelieve and disobey; still they doubt that God is able; still they err in their hearts and therefore fail to understand with their heads; still they wander to and fro, with weary souls and restless feet. But if they who failed to believe in words... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:13

‘But encourage (‘exhort’) one another day by day, so long as it is called ‘Today’, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,’ So important is this that they are to exhort and encourage (parakaleo - comfort, exhort, encourage) each other ‘from day to day as long as time exists’, lest any among them be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. It is a reminder that while time exists we must ever be on our guard. There can never be a let up in the battle against sin. And we... read more

Arthur Peake

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
