This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb_4:4. Scripture proof for the thought implicitly contained in καίτοι κ . τ . λ ., Heb_4:3, viz. that the actual existence of the divine κατάπαυσις , from which the Israelites were to be excluded, has not been wanting.
The citation is from Gen_2:2, according to the LXX., with some non-essential variations.
Το εἴρηκεν we have to supply as subject, not ἡ γραγή ] (Böhme, Kuinoel, Klee, Stein, Bisping, al.), but ὁ θεός . For although, in the citation, God is spoken of in the third person, yet in εἴρηκεν , Heb_4:4, the subject must be the same as in καὶ ἐν τούτῳ πάλιν , sc. εἴρηκεν , Heb_4:5; in this latter passage, however, the subject can only be ὁ θεός , as is proved by the following μου .
που ] see on Heb_2:6.
περὶ τῆς ἑβδόμης ] with regard to the seventh day. Comp. Winer, Gramm., 7 Aufl. p. 549; Buttmann, Gramm. des neutest. Sprachgebr. p. 71.
