This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 10:1. Σκιὰν, shadow) The antithesis is εἰκόνα, image.-αὐτὴν την εἰκόα, the very image) the archetype, the original and solid image, ch. Heb 9:24, note. The shadow,[56] although it was the prelude of future events, did not however precede, as in a picture, but followed a little after. See by all means ch. Heb 8:5.-κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν, yearly) This refers to the whole sentence to the end of the verse.-ταῖς αὐταῖς, with the same) the same, not in the number, but in the kind of sacrifices.-ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς, which they offer continually) offer, viz. those who offer, who draw near and perform the service. They offer for ever; that is, they do not cease to offer, nor will they cease, unless they be compelled.-οὐδέποτε δύναται, never can) So. Heb 10:11.
[56] Used here of the first outline or sketch drawn, preparatory to a painting.-ED.
