This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 4:7. Πάλιν, again) Who would have thought that there is a sermon so important and so solemn in the 95th Psalm? Let us highly value the words of GOD; comp. ch. Heb 10:8, note.-ὁρίζει, He limits) viz. GOD.-ἡμέραν, a day) This is deduced from the quotation, σήμερον, to-day, which is presently brought forward. See how beautifully he lays stress on the word, יום, a day, and single words in the same manner often, ch. Heb 2:8; Heb 2:11-12, Heb 7:11; Heb 7:21, Heb 8:13, Heb 10:9, Heb 12:5; Heb 12:27 : the day, viz. that of striving for the heavenly rest: Heb 4:8.-ἐν, in) So ch. Heb 1:1.-τοσοῦτον χρόνον) so long a time, more than four hundred years from Moses and Joshua to David, who sung this psalm.-καθὼς προείρηται, as it was before said) The apostle refers his hearers to the whole text, as repeated above from the psalm.
