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 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin Thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then said I, `Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.'"

8 Above when He said, "Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings, and offering for sin Thou wouldest not have, neither hadst pleasure therein" (which are offered in accordance with the law),

9 then said He, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God," He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.

10 By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
