Hebrews 9:1-28 BSB

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:19

Hebrews 9:19. For when Moses had spoken every precept, &c.— Moses, in his account of the transaction, Leviticus 16:0 does not mention all the circumstances spoken of in this verse. St. Paul might very probably have received them from tradition. However, the apostle's account was confirmed by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. Ceremonies of a similar kind are prescribed, Leviticus 14:4-6; Lev 14:49-52 as in cleansing the leper; and it is highly probable, that the sprinkling the blood... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:20

Hebrews 9:20. Saying, This is the blood of the testament— Of the covenant, that is, the blood by which the covenant between God and this people is ratified and confirmed. Our blessed Saviour seems to have had the passage of Moses here referred to in view, when he gave to his disciples the cup in his last supper: This, said he, is my blood, even that of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins; Matthew 26:28. The apostle, in the words before us, follows neither the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:22

Hebrews 9:22. And almost all things are—purged with blood;— Some things by the law were purified or cleansed with water only: Exodus 19:10. Lev 16:28 others were purified with the water of separation; Numbers 19:9; Numbers 19:11; Num 19:22 other things were cleansed by fire (Numbers 31:22-23.) and by the water of separation jointly; but, generally speaking, all thingswere purified by blood; and therefore the apostle makes use of the word almost. The last clause was a proverbial saying which is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:23

Hebrews 9:23. It was therefore necessary— The sense stands thus: "It was necessary that these patterns of heavenly things, ch. Heb 8:5 should be purified with these sacrifices of calves, and goats, &c. but as the heavenly things themselves are unspeakably more noble and excellent, so if they are to be purified by sacrifices, the sacrifices must be more excellent and noble than those legal sacrifices were. Such a sacrifice is Christ, who, though but once offered, effectually answers this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:24

Hebrews 9:24. For Christ is not entered into the holy places, &c.— The apostle here pursues his grand point, which was to shew the infinite superiority and preference of the Christian covenant above that of the Jews. The sacrifice of Christ is more valuable than their sacrifices; the place into which Christ entered is much preferable to that into which their high-priesthood entered: the one was made with hands; the other the work of God: the Jewish tabernacle, a copy or pattern only; the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:25

Hebrews 9:25. Nor yet— Not, indeed. See Hebrews 9:12. There is an ellipsis in this place, to be supplied from Heb 9:23 thus: "Nor indeed was it necessary that he should often offer himself." With blood of others means, the blood of bulls and of goats; and is rendered much more agreeably to the original by Dr. Heylin, with other blood than his own:— εν αιματι αλλοτριω . read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:26

Hebrews 9:26. For then must he often have suffered— The apostle's design was, to shew the difference between the high-priest's offering once every year, and Christ's offering once for all;—that had frequent oblation been necessary, then Christ must have offered himself often since the foundation of the world. But, instead of frequent oblation, there was no occasion that he should suffer more than once, in order to obtain the end designed; so that here are two points in which the superior... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:27

Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die.— The apostle had several times asserted, that Christ was made like unto us in all things, except sin; and this consideration he seems to allege in this place, in order to clear up what he says of Christ's only dying once. By dying once, he submits to the condition which they were in for whom he died; namely, for the whole world, but especially for them who perseveringly believe. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:28

Hebrews 9:28. So Christ was once offered— The comparison here used is this: "Whereas all men die once, and after this there is to be a judgment for them; so Christ died once, and, having offered himself to bear away sin, he too, as well as all others, shall appear a second time, but without sin, or, bearing away sin, as a Judge and Rewarder of those who have lived in expectation of him." As to the phraseology, the design of the apostle is, to represent what our Saviour did for us; and this he... read more
