This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 3:15. Ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι, while it is said) The connection is with Heb 3:13, in reference to παρακαλεῖτε. Even in the psalm the Divine exhortation (paraclesis) precedes, viz. O come ye. Comp. היום, Psa 95:7, taking into consideration the preceding Athnach, which is a subdistinctive of the latter hemistich [in the Hebrew]; i.e. it entirely depends on you that this may not only be a mere invitation and offer, in the first instance, but also [the source of] real enjoyment, in the second. So ἐν τῷ λέγειν, in that He saith, ch. Heb 8:13.-ὡς ἐν τῷ παραπικρασμῷ, as in the Provocation) כמריבה; it is taken as a proper name, with its signification.
