Heb 3:7. Διὸ, wherefore) A choice inference, and the strength of this whole passage.

Under this hearing, there is included any sort of hearing whatever, Heb 3:16, ch. Heb 4:2. The force of this clause (hemistich) is joined in the Hebrew with what goes before, and thence it redounds upon what follows.-φωνῆς, voice) which is full of grace, in these words of the prophet, to be heard on that very account.
[24] Καθὼς, even as) The Apodosis is at Heb 3:12.-Not. Crit.
