Hebrews 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 10:9

Then said he, [lo], I come to do thy will, O God
(See Gill on Hebrews 10:7)

he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second;
the sense is, either that God has taken away, and abolished the law, that he might establish the Gospel; or he has caused the first covenant to vanish away, that place might be found for the second, or new covenant; or he has changed and abrogated the priesthood of Aaron, that he might confirm the unchangeable priesthood of Christ; or rather he has taken away that which was first spoken of in the above citation, namely, sacrifice, offering, burnt offerings, and sin offerings; these he has removed and rejected as insignificant and useless, that he might establish what is mentioned in the second place; namely, the will of God, which is no other than the sacrifice of Christ, offered up according to the will of God, and by which his will is done.

Hebrews 10:9 In-Context

7 Then I sayde: Lo I come in the chefest of the boke it is written of me that I shuld doo thy will o god.

8 Above when he had sayed sacrifice and offerynge and burnt sacrifices and synne offerynges thou woldest not have nether hast alowed (which yet are offered by the lawe)

9 and then sayde: Lo I come to do thy will o god: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter.

10 By the which will we are sanctified by the offeringe of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.

11 And every prest is redy dayly ministrynge and ofte tymes offereth one maner of offerynge which can never take awaye synnes.
