The Greek word for "know" (οἴδαμεν, oidamen) implies a deep, intimate understanding, not just intellectual awareness. It suggests that the audience is familiar with God's character and His words, as revealed in Scripture. This knowledge is rooted in a relationship with God, emphasizing the importance of knowing Him personally and understanding His nature as just and righteous.Vengeance is Mine; I will repay This is a direct quotation from <a href="/deuteronomy/32-35.htm">Deuteronomy 32:35</a>, where God declares His sovereign right to execute justice. The Greek word for "vengeance" (ἐκδίκησις, ekdikēsis) refers to retributive justice, not human revenge. It underscores God's role as the ultimate judge who will right all wrongs. The phrase "I will repay" assures believers that God will address injustices in His perfect timing. This is a call to trust in God's justice rather than taking matters into our own hands.says the Lord This phrase affirms the divine authority of the statement. The Greek word for "Lord" (Κύριος, Kyrios) is used to denote God's supreme authority and power. It reminds readers that these are not merely human words but the pronouncement of the Almighty. This assurance from the Lord Himself provides comfort and confidence to believers, knowing that God is in control and His promises are trustworthy.And again This phrase indicates that the author is about to reinforce the previous statement with another scriptural reference. It shows the consistency and reliability of God's Word, as multiple passages affirm the same truth. This repetition serves to strengthen the argument and remind the audience of the certainty of God's justice.The Lord will judge His people This is a reference to <a href="/deuteronomy/32-36.htm">Deuteronomy 32:36</a>, emphasizing God's role as the judge of His covenant people. The Greek word for "judge" (κρίνει, krinei) involves both evaluation and decision-making. It highlights God's discernment and fairness in dealing with His people. This serves as both a warning and a comfort: a warning to those who stray from His ways and a comfort to those who remain faithful, knowing that God will ultimately vindicate them.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(30) By a new and living way.--Better, by the way which He dedicated (or inaugurated) for us, a new and living way. This way was opened to us by Him; in it we follow Him. For Him, the way into the Holiest led through the veil, His flesh. As the veil concealed from the high priest the place of God's presence, which he could enter only by passing through the veil; so, although in His earthly life Jesus dwelt in the presence of God, yet as our representative He could not enter the heavenly sanctuary until He had passed through and out of His life of flesh (see <a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm" title="But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;">Hebrews 9:11</a>). There is probably a covert allusion to the rending of the Temple veil in the hour when Jesus thus passed through the rent veil of His flesh. This way is new (<a href="/hebrews/9-8.htm" title="The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:">Hebrews 9:8</a>; <a href="/hebrews/9-12.htm" title="Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.">Hebrews 9:12</a>), it is living, for in truth this "way" is living union with Christ (<a href="/john/14-6.htm" title="Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.">John 14:6</a>).(30) Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense.--This quotation from <a href="/deuteronomy/32-35.htm" title="To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come on them make haste.">Deuteronomy 32:35</a> completely preserves the sense of the original words, "To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence," whilst departing from their form. The LXX. shows still wider divergence, neglecting entirely the emphasis which rests on the words "to Me" It is therefore very remarkable that this quotation is given, in exactly the same form, in <a href="/romans/12-19.htm" title="Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord.">Romans 12:19</a>. As, however, the words "I will recompense" are found in the most ancient of the Targums (that of Onkelos) it is very possible that St. Paul may have there adopted a form already current amongst the Jews. (See Note on <a href="/romans/12-19.htm" title="Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord.">Romans 12:19</a>.) If so, there is no difficulty in accounting for the coincidence in this place. But, even if this supposition is. without foundation, and the saying in this form was first used in <a href="/romans/12-19.htm" title="Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord.">Romans 12:19</a>, is there any real cause for wonder if a disciple of St. Paul in a single instance reproduces the Apostle's words? It should be observed that the words "saith the Lord" must be omitted from the text, according to the best authorities. . . . <a href="/commentaries/hebrews/10-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
