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 sacrifices and synne offerynges thou hast no lust.

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.
