Hebrews 10:9

9 tunc dixit ecce venio ut faciam Deus voluntatem tuam aufert primum ut sequens statuat

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 tunc dixi ecce venio in capitulo libri scriptum est de me ut faciam Deus voluntatem tuam
8 superius dicens quia hostias et oblationes et holocaustomata et pro peccato noluisti nec placita sunt tibi quae secundum legem offeruntur
9 tunc dixit ecce venio ut faciam Deus voluntatem tuam aufert primum ut sequens statuat
10 in qua voluntate sanctificati sumus per oblationem corporis Christi Iesu in semel
11 et omnis quidem sacerdos praesto est cotidie ministrans et easdem saepe offerens hostias quae numquam possunt auferre peccata
