Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

(7) Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, (8) Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: (9) When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. (10) Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. (11) So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) (12) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 3:19

REFLECTIONS PAUSE, my soul, and cheerfully obey, the Lord the Spirit, and consider, as thou art commanded and hast such abundant reason to do; consider, the Apostle and High Priest of thy profession Christ Jesus! Yes! thou glorious God and Savior! I would desire to contemplate thy Person, character, offices, and relations! I would desire grace, and a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of thee, to behold thee in all that concerns thy Mediatorial glory, in thy faithfulness to thy... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:15

From the 6th and 14th verses we learn the great happiness conferred on us at baptism; but all this, happily, we are taught is dependent on faith, on the foundation of our spiritual and divine being. read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:16

Let us not flatter ourselves with having quitted Egypt by our baptism, unless we also quit that opposition, and that disobedience of our heart to the laws and maxims of the gospel. The Israelites, under the guidance of Moses, left Egypt for the promised land, and after travelling in the desert for the space of two years, found themselves on the confines of that so much desired country; but the possession of it was denied them, and they were left to perish in the desert, because they distrusted... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:17

Whose carcasses were laid, or buried in the desert? None of those who were reckoned up (Numbers xiv.) entered the land of Chanaan [Canann], except Josue [Joshua] and Caleb; but then we may take notice, that none were there numbered under twenty years of age, nor the Levites, nor the women. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:14-19

14-19 The saints' privilege is, they are made partakers of Christ, that is, of the Spirit, the nature, graces, righteousness, and life of Christ; they are interested in all Christ is, in all he has done, or will do. The same spirit with which Christians set out in the ways of God, they should maintain unto the end. Perseverance in faith is the best evidence of the sincerity of our faith. Hearing the word often is a means of salvation, yet, if not hearkened to, it will expose more to the Divine... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 3:1-99

Hebrews 3 THE FIRST CHAPTER has presented to us the Lord Jesus as the Apostle, that is, as the Sent One, who came forth from God to us, bringing us the Divine revelation. The second set Him before us as the High Priest, who has gone in from us to God, representing us and maintaining our cause in His presence. Now we are bidden to consider Him very thoroughly in both these characters. We are to set our minds to it as those who aim at discovering all that is involved. These Hebrews had taken up... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 3:15-19

The danger of unbelief: v. 15. While it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation v. 16. For some, when they had heard, did provoke; howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. v. 17. But with whom was he grieved forty years? Was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? v. 18. And to whom sware he that they should not enter into His rest but to them that believed not? v. 19. So we see that they could... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Hebrews 3:7-19

IIThe threatening of the Old Testament, that unbelievers shall not enter into the rest of God, is all the more to be taken to heart by the New Testament people of GodHebrews 3:7-197 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: To-day if ye will [om. will] hear his voice, 8harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness, 9 when [where οὗ] your fathers tempted me, proved me [by proving],6 and saw my works [during] forty years. 10Wherefore I was grieved [was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Hebrews 3:12-19

“Harden Not Your Hearts” Hebrews 3:12-19 There is a peril lest familiarity with God’s words should beget indifference to them. The path may be trodden hard by the sower’s feet. That story of the Wilderness wanderings is for all time. Still men disbelieve and disobey; still they doubt that God is able; still they err in their hearts and therefore fail to understand with their heads; still they wander to and fro, with weary souls and restless feet. But if they who failed to believe in words... read more
