The Greek word used here is "ἐγκαταλείπω" (egkataleipō), which means to forsake or abandon. Historically, this reflects the early Christian community's struggle to maintain unity and commitment amidst persecution and societal pressures. The exhortation is a reminder of the importance of perseverance in faith and community life.meeting together The term "meeting together" refers to the assembly of believers, which in Greek is "ἐπισυναγωγή" (episynagōgē). This word emphasizes the gathering of the faithful for worship, teaching, and fellowship. In the early church, these gatherings were crucial for mutual support and spiritual growth. Archaeological findings, such as early church meeting places, highlight the significance of communal worship in the life of early Christians.as some have made a habit This phrase acknowledges that some believers had developed a pattern of neglecting communal gatherings. The Greek word "ἔθος" (ethos) implies a custom or habitual practice. This warning serves as a timeless reminder of the human tendency to drift away from spiritual disciplines, especially when faced with external challenges or complacency.but let us encourage one another The call to "encourage one another" is central to Christian community life. The Greek word "παρακαλέω" (parakaleō) means to exhort, comfort, or encourage. This reflects the biblical principle of mutual edification, where believers are called to support and uplift each other. Scripturally, this aligns with the teachings of love and unity found throughout the New Testament.and all the more The phrase "and all the more" suggests an increasing urgency and intensity in the practice of encouragement and gathering. It implies that as challenges grow, so should the commitment to community and support. This reflects the early church's understanding of the escalating trials they faced and the need for a strong, united front.as you see the Day approaching The "Day" refers to the anticipated return of Christ, a central tenet of Christian eschatology. The Greek word "ἡμέρα" (hēmera) in this context signifies the day of the Lord's return, a time of judgment and fulfillment of God's promises. Historically, this expectation fueled the early Christians' perseverance and hope, motivating them to remain steadfast in faith and community. The anticipation of this day serves as a powerful motivator for believers to live in readiness and active faith.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(25) As the manner of some is.--Some members of this community, it would seem, had persuaded themselves that the relation of Judaism to Christianity, of the "synagogue" (the Greek word here used seems to allude to this technical name, and yet intentionally to avoid it) and the Church, was such as to permit them to avoid close intercourse with Christians and direct association with Christian assemblies. This neglect was the first step towards apostasy.Exhorting.--Better, encouraging. (Comp. <a href="/hebrews/12-12.htm" title="Why lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;">Hebrews 12:12</a>.)The day.--See <a href="/1_corinthians/3-13.htm" title="Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.">1Corinthians 3:13</a>--"the day shall declare" every man's work. Elsewhere we read of "the day of the Lord" (<a href="/1_thessalonians/5-2.htm" title="For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.">1Thessalonians 5:2</a>); "the day of Christ" (<a href="/philippians/1-10.htm" title="That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ.">Philippians 1:10</a>). The words of Jesus to His disciples (Matthew 24; Luke 17) had enabled all who were willing to hear to understand "the signs of the times." As the writer gave these warnings, the day when the Son of Man should come in His kingdom, bringing judgment upon Jerusalem (<a href="/matthew/16-28.htm" title="Truly I say to you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.">Matthew 16:28</a>), was close at hand--that day which is distinctly presented to us in the New Testament as the type of His final coming. . . . <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/10-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Let us not neglect ἐγκαταλείποντες (enkataleipontes) Verb - Present Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1459.htm">Strong's 1459: </a> From en and kataleipo; to leave behind in some place, i.e. let remain over, or to desert. meeting together, ἐπισυναγωγὴν (episynagōgēn) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1997.htm">Strong's 1997: </a> A gathering (collecting) together, assembling.
