Hebrews 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:8

Above when he said,
&c.] In the afore cited place, ( Psalms 40:7 Psalms 40:8 )

Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings, and offering for sin
thou wouldst not, neither hadst pleasure therein;
this is a recapitulation of what is before said; and all kind of sacrifices are mentioned, to show that they are all imperfect, and insufficient, and are abolished; and the abrogation of them is expressed in the strongest terms, as that God would not have them, and that he took no pleasure in them:

which are offered by the law;
according as that directs and enjoins: this clause is added, to distinguish these sacrifices from spiritual ones, under the Gospel dispensation, and which are well pleasing to God; and to prevent an objection against the abolition of them, taken from hence, that they are according to the law; and yet, notwithstanding this, God will not have them, nor accept of them.

Hebrews 10:8 In-Context

6 You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

7 Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

8 After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

9 Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.

10 By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.
