Hebrews 10:7 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Lo, I come. — Rather, Lo, I am come — I am here. The original meaning of the following words is not quite certain. The Hebrew admits of two renderings. (1) Then I said, Lo, I am come! in the roll of the Book it is prescribed unto me; (2) Then I said, Lo, I am come with the roll of the Book that is written concerning me. The “roll of the Book” is the roll containing the Divine Law. The next clause is quite distinct in construction: “I delight to do Thy will, O God; yea, Thy law is within my heart.” The omission of the words “I delight,” alters the connection of the words; but it will be seen that, though the Hebrew verses are condensed, their meaning is exactly preserved.

Hebrews 10:7

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
